About Our Team

Alexander Strohmeier

Founder & President, NextBird

“The aircraft brokerage industry is evolving, and clients deserve more transparency, data, and care throughout the process. At NextBird, we bridge that gap—helping buyers and sellers make informed, confident decisions while redefining what personalized service in private aviation truly means.”

Alexander Strohmeier, Founder of NextBird

Alexander Strohmeier is the founder and president of NextBird, a company built on integrity, precision, and a deep passion for aviation. He began his career in June 2023 with Jet Life Aero, LLC, where his dedication quickly set him apart. During his time there, he earned his private pilot license and became the firm’s top-producing broker. His efforts helped elevate Jet Life Aero, LLC into the top 10 aircraft brokerages by listings on JETNET.

Driven by a commitment to excellence, Alexander founded NextBird to provide a more personalized and transparent approach to aircraft transactions. He is dedicated to representing both buyers and sellers with professionalism, market insight, and an unwavering focus on achieving successful outcomes. For Alexander, every aircraft deal represents more than a transaction—it’s an opportunity to help clients realize their aviation goals with confidence and clarity.
