Alexander Paul
Regional Sales Manager Europe
Based in Vienna, Austria, Alexander supports the company's European & African customers in his role as Regional Sales Manager. He joined AJW Group in 2003 as an Account Manager responsible for the German-speaking markets. This role rapidly grew into servicing the African and Asian regions, and he was appointed to the role of Sales Team Leader before moving into his current role in 2016.
Alexander has gained a wealth of knowledge and expertise as the dynamic aviation market has evolved and has developed a thorough understanding of his customer’s needs through times of industry growth and turmoil.
His strengths lie in his ability to build strong, long-standing customer relationships through his adept and customer-focused communications, and he plays a crucial role as a liaison between AJW's support teams and its growing European & African customer base.
Nick Ward
SVP Global Sales & Business Development
Nick joined AJW Group in 2011 setting up AJW’s China operation and developing key strategic accounts across the region. Since 2018 Nick has focused on developing strategic customer relationships worldwide leveraging his extensive AJW customer network to build business relationships.
Now in the role of SVP Global Sales & Business Development, he also oversees our global Business Development Team introducing AJW products and services across our customer base. The business development team is a dynamic, multicultural, solution-driven team with customer experience in mind every step of the way. The team’s mission is to nurture relationships with key customers to harvest and maximise the opportunities arising from our global marketplace.
When not seeing to sales and business development, Nick enjoys spending his spare time outdoors, cycling, horseriding, sailing, and if there’s any time left, playing golf.
Paul Lawrie
VP Account Management
Paul joined AJW in 2023 as VP Account Management. Leveraging his key account management experience spanning more than 25 years, he is responsible for building and enhancing strong, long-lasting customer relationships.
With a Post-Graduate Diploma in Industrial Sales & Marketing from Loughborough University, Paul has extensive experience working with foreign entities and executives across the globe and uses his command of international business practices to reinforce these professional relationships.
Prior to joining AJW, his roles included VP Commercial at Elix Aviation, Director of Sales at Thales InFlyt Experience™, and Business Director at BAE Systems.
When he’s away from the office, Paul is an enthusiastic sports player and spectator having played tennis, rugby, cricket, golf, and padel at a competitive level. He also loves skiing in the winter, surfing (badly) in the summer, and is even a qualified scuba diver. A man of many talents!
Scott Symington
Chief Commercial Officer
Scott is a senior aviation executive who joined AJW Group as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) in 2023 bringing 30 years of experience across the leasing, airline, OEM, and MRO sectors and has achieved an Executive MBA with Distinction.
He is responsible for driving the strategic sales plan across the AJW portfolio business lines and works hand in hand with other members of the Executive team and key leaders across the organisation to develop and implement an integrated commercial strategy.
Prior to joining AJW, Scott led the commercial, sales and marketing functions of a Dublin based aircraft lessor. Having developed the commercial team and built the platform to manage an 80 aircraft portfolio, Scott is committed to AJW’s mission to transform aviation efficiency. Starting his aviation career straight from school as an apprentice aircraft fitter at BAE SYSTEMS, he made quick progress at the company, becoming a licensed aircraft maintenance engineer, and then transferring to Toulouse to join technical support before moving into commercial roles. After 20 years at BAE, he moved to Athens to initiate Europe’s biggest ever start-up airline, Olympic Air, where he negotiated multiple aircraft leases, PBH and support contracts as well as starting the third-party MRO business. After, he relocated back to Scotland to set up and implement the aircraft leasing support strategy for the company which is now Collins Aerospace.
Outside of work, Scott loves to travel and is a passionate supporter of his national rugby team, attending all home games at Murrayfield and he can also be found at Scotstoun supporting the Glasgow Warriors.
