Deepak Sharma
Director, Aviation Consultant, and Philanthropist in United Kingdom
CEO | Aviation Consultant | Philanthropist | Spiritual Advocate
As Chief Executive Officer of AFL Aircraft Finance Lease Ltd (London), I lead a globally focused aviation finance business that supports aircraft and engine lessors with structured, compliant, and forward-thinking solutions. With more than three decades in aviation, I bring strategic leadership, regulatory rigour, and international experience to a complex and evolving industry.
My background combines aeronautical engineering, business, and regulation: an MBA, an EASA Part-66 Licence, Fellowship of the Royal Aeronautical Society, and specialist training in finance and contract law. This multidisciplinary foundation helps me work effectively at the intersection of engineering, compliance, and global business.
Beyond Aviation: Purpose & Impact
Through my work with the Drishti Foundation, I support mental health initiatives for women affected by trauma, access to education for underprivileged children, and timely crisis relief. My philanthropic approach is rooted in empowerment, resilience, and lasting change.
I also contribute to spiritual advocacy through published work with the World Supernal Conscious Centre, promoting peace, self-awareness, and cultural understanding.
A Legacy of Purpose
Across business, philanthropy, and spiritual engagement, I aim to lead with clarity, act with integrity, and build systems that uplift others.
