Annalisa stepped into aviation at the age of 14 and fell in love with it. She studied aviation by attending “Arturo Ferrarin Aviation Institute” in Italy, where she also got her Private Pilot License. She then went on to obtain a Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, specialized in Maintenance and Management, at Politecnico of Milano.

She’s worked in different environments, including Flight Schools, Commercial Air Carriers, Manufacturers, and Airworthiness Management Organizations. Her experience spans from Aircraft and Airworthiness Management, Engineering, Delivery and Re-delivery to teaching and aircraft brokerage.

As CAMO Post Holder of Cayman Aviation Consulting, she further expanded her horizons working with all kinds of different clients and types of operations, helping them manage their aircraft under different Civil Aviation regimes including EASA, the FAA, Transport Canada, San Marino Civil Aviation, and UK Overseas Territories Requirements.

Bret Peters 

Bret is a seasoned Canadian aviation professional, holding a diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Technologies, a Canadian Aircraft Maintenance Engineer’s Licence, FAA Mechanic’s Certificate in the Airframe and Powerplant categories, and a University degree in Business Management. Enticed by his early start in a corporate aviation department, he’s always strived to broaden his horizons by pursuing knowledge and experience in different areas of Civil Aviation.

He's unearthed an abundance of real-life industry experience in maintaining and managing numerous aircraft of various types and holding different posts in private, corporate, and commercial aviation environments before his latest adventure, in Aviation Regulation.

About midway through his career, he was pulled into the realm of Regulatory Authorities. This journey began with his becoming a Transport Canada Minister’s Delegate – Maintenance, which over time morphed into being a full-fledged Civil Aviation Safety Inspector with Transport Canada.

Meanwhile, always in pursuit of expansion and knowledge, in a whirlwind, he found himself with another aviation Regulatory body; the Civil Aviation Authority of the Cayman Islands. Today, again finding his way home, he’s a Director of his own consulting business; helping others, globally, wherever possible and sharing knowledge and experiences along the way.
