Entrepreneur, Engineer and Pilot, Olivier fell into aircraft sales straight after his studies. His pragmatic approach and technical knowledge quickly led to recognition as one of the most reliable aircraft brokers in Europe. He founded 88K in 2015 to concretize his vision of what aircraft transactions should resemble: client-oriented, meticulous and efficient. Since then, Olivier has closed more than 50 transactions, creating as many satisfied and returning clients, who now see 88K as their partner in aviation. Olivier is type rated on the Cheyenne II and regularly flies acrobaticly in his Bücker Jungmann when not in his SR22. He graduated from ETH Zürich with a Masters in Mechanical Engineering and is fluent in French, German and English.

Aerospace Engineer with a sales acumen, Alexis directs his energy toward aircraft sales and acquisition activities. Navigating the intersection of aviation and technology, he likes to refine processes to make 88K the most efficient brokerage firm clients might come across. In his previous role at Sabena Technics, Alexis sharpened his technical and sales expertise by working the initial phases of major commercial leasing ventures for top-tier companies. His technical leadership later elevated him to lead the digital transformation of a 150-person department. Holding a Master's Degree in Aerospace Engineering from CNAM and ISAE Supaero, Alexis further completed his credentials with a Master's in International Project Management from l'Ecole Polytechnique and ESSEC Business School. Proficient in French and English, he's progressively adding German to his linguistic repertoire.
