Anne-Bart Tieleman, CEO, TrueNoord

As CEO of TrueNoord, Anne-Bart Tieleman presides over a rapidly expanding portfolio of regional jets and turboprops. Managing a growing team of dedicated and experienced colleagues across offices in Amsterdam, Dublin, London and Singapore, he is responsible for streamlining the business for maximum growth, focussing on global progress, and directing the TrueNoord brand experience with external and internal audiences.

Establishing TrueNoord in 2016 with a solid core of investors, Tieleman successfully transitioned his original leasing business – GA-Finance – which he founded in 2002, and created a new company that is now globally recognised as one of the leading specialist regional aircraft lessors.

He worked for Deutsche Bank for 12 years and prior to that spent time at the futures and options exchange, EuroNext Amsterdam. Tieleman graduated from the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands with a Master’s degree in Economics.

An aviation enthusiast and holder of a private pilot’s licence, Tieleman drives TrueNoord’s sustainability agenda and the organisation’s exploration of new technologies in the regional sector.
