Since 2009, Mente Group has helped corporations, private owners, and first-time buyers navigate every stage of aircraft use and ownership with trusted guidance, precise data, and expertise across the entire aviation lifecycle.
Our Story
A Smarter Way to Navigate Private Aviation.
Mente Group was founded in 2009 with a simple belief: private aviation clients deserved more than a transaction. They needed a trusted advisor capable of understanding the entire picture—mission, market, operations, value, and long-term ownership.
From the beginning, Mente approached every engagement with disciplined analysis, independent thinking, and a commitment to representing the client’s best interests. That foundation continues to shape how we work today.
What began as a lean consulting and brokerage firm during one of aviation’s most challenging markets has grown into a multidisciplinary private aviation company serving clients around the world.
Our capabilities have expanded across transactions, consulting, appraisals, completion and refurbishment, technology, charter, and aircraft management. Yet our purpose remains unchanged: reduce uncertainty, protect value, and help every client make a more confident aviation decision.

Values
The Values Behind
Every Decision.
Stewardship
Stewardship is the embodiment of responsible planning and management of resources. Our clients hire us to be good stewards of their resources, the most valuable of those being time.
Teamwork
The best teams do not have people with similar skills – they combine the diverse talents and backgrounds of individuals and appreciate the gifts that each one contributes. We all are sharpened and improved by the interactions and examples of our peers.
Excellence
The pursuit of excellence is a habit, the pursuit of a lifetime; a commitment that must be continually renewed. Excellence is not Perfection, and we will work hard not to confuse the two.
Abundance
Our goal is for our clients, our employees, and our families to experience the overflowing fullness of a life well lived. This abundance mentality drives the way we think; and the way we think determines how we live & work.
Community
Relationship matters. We might be able to accomplish some of our goals by ourselves, but we certainly don’t need to go it alone, nor should we want to. We can achieve a lot more by involving others in our endeavors. We think about powering prosperity in our world not only through our products and services but making the communities around us far better than what we found them.
Customer Obsession
It is falling in love with what matters most for our customers. It’s all about delivering unrivaled benefits and doing things that customers would never expect. It’s about creating Raving Fans that elevate our brand to new heights.
OUR Philosophy
Your Interests
Come First.
Private aviation is complex. Your guidance shouldn’t be. We bring every financial, operational, technical, and market consideration into one clear view.
Then we create an objective path forward—built around your mission, grounded in data, and focused on protecting what you value most at every stage.
