34 years of airline, airport and ground-handling operations on four continents, from ORAT programs and airside safety to the world's largest sporting events.
An aviation professional with an entrepreneurial mindset, at home wherever an airport or airline needs to open, transition, recover or perform under pressure.
I have spent 34 years in the airport and airline industry, leading multinational teams and multicultural organizations. My expertise spans ORAT programs, quality and safety, ground and terminal operations, passenger experience, VIP operations, airline station management, stakeholder engagement, cargo operations and crew scheduling.
I am experienced in internal station audits and in coordinating between airport management, authorities, ground operations and aviation security, building a passenger-experience culture that lasts beyond the project. I am result-oriented, work well under time pressure and hold my teams to high ethical and customer-service standards.
Nine areas where I take responsibility on day one, grounded in EASA, ICAO and IATA regulation and in real operations on the apron and in the terminal.
