CJI Podcast #37: Florent Venturini | Ellipse Aviation | Brokerage should not be a "one-off transaction"
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In our latest episode we are joined by Florent Venturini, co-founder and managing partner of Ellipse Aviation.
Venturini explains how he and his partner Pierre-Emmanuel de Tailly’s combined experience at Dassault, Textron and Gulfstream led them to create a brokerage focused on long-term ownership care, not just one-off transactions.
Launched in December 2025, Venturini details Ellipse’s three differentiators: deep technical expertise, and innovation – including a free AI-powered valuation tool and EllipseShield, a buyer-side AOG charter protection programme.
Venturini discusses today’s fragmented pre-owned market, where ultra-long-range jets remain scarce while other segments have softened. He also advises first-time buyers to avoid overbuying and to prioritise mission fit and operating economics. Plus much more besides.
