Sean is the founder and chief executive of AXETEXA, where he leads the design and administration of structured participation frameworks for real world assets. His work centres on governance design, asset structuring, and lifecycle oversight, enabling informed and accountable participation rather than conventional discretionary asset management.
He brings an interdisciplinary background spanning entrepreneurship, aviation, private capital, and leadership development. Sean has founded and operated businesses across multiple sectors and has held senior operational roles as an airline pilot and corporate jet captain, flying with commercial airlines and in business aviation. His aviation career has shaped a strong orientation towards risk management, procedural discipline, and decision making within complex regulatory environments.
Alongside his operational career, Sean has developed applied private equity knowledge through formal executive education and practical exposure to deal structures, capital deployment considerations, and investment governance. He has completed private equity coursework at Imperial College London and has experience performing compliance and governance functions, contributing to a grounded understanding of regulatory obligations, fiduciary responsibilities, and control frameworks.
In parallel, Sean works as a leadership coach and educator, focusing on sustainable influence, presence, and long term leadership effectiveness. His leadership work integrates operational experience with formal management training.
Academically, Sean holds a Master of Business Administration and a Master of Human Resource Management, providing a structured foundation in organisational design, governance, and strategic leadership. This combined technical, operational, and academic background underpins his approach to asset stewardship, governance integrity, and long term capital alignment at AXETEXA.
