About

Like many folks in technical and engineering roles, I thrive on problem solving. My 30+ years in airline & aviation technical operations have provided me with a wealth of experiences and a strong network of like-minded professionals. It's these relationships and shared experiences which have allowed me to lead an incredibly strong team of technologists and SME's to create a powerful platform which has evolved the way that airlines control operations for maximum efficiency & performance.
