Head of Innovation & Digital
Innovation means navigating the ever-changing world by finding opportunities in obstacles and thinking of the future as more than just being linear.
Successful innovations strike the balance between desirability, feasibility, and profitability. At the same time, we must establish a robust foundation of data and capabilities, as they form the catalyst for future innovations.
Innovation in aviation starts with a bold vision for the future, one that focuses on the growth and connection of a region, as well as navigating the continuation of travel complexities and recovery. If we center our thinking and progress around people – employees, passengers and the community – there’s no denying the impact that innovation and technology can have on an airport’s operation and the communities that we serve.
Collaboration between airports, using innovation as a common tool, is essential for the aviation industry's continued success. By working together and sharing knowledge, airports can develop new ways of working and processes that benefit passengers, operations, and the environment
