Aviation industry experience built from the operation up.
I started my aviation career close to the operation, working in aircraft handling, ground movement control and airside planning. Over 38 years, this practical operational experience has developed into a broader career spanning airport development, operational transformation, infrastructure, aviation technology and international consulting.
This practical operational background gives me a different perspective — combining strategic and planning expertise with a clear understanding of how decisions translate into the realities of day-to-day airport operations.
From the tarmac to the boarding gate.
Beginning in the critical environment of aircraft handling, ground movement, and airside operations, I have spent decades mastering the complexities of the airport ecosystem. This practical, hands-on foundation, combined with deep aviation industry experience, ensures that my consulting work is never just theoretical. I understand how decisions made in planning and strategy ripple through the real airport environment, informing infrastructure development and operational transformation with a perspective rooted in the reality of the operation.
