In 1985, he made a career switch and joined an IT recruitment company in London, co-owned by his future partner, Bernie Duffield. They specialized in recruiting software developers for airline reservation systems and later expanded to pilot and engineer contracting, which led to the establishment of Brookfield Aviation in 1993.
