## What's your professional background?

I graduated from Edge Hill University in 2018 with a professional Law degree. I went on to work for 3 years in the legal sector, with most of that time spent working in personal injury, and the other small portion spent in debt recovery.

## What do you hope to achieve with AeroCloud?

I took a leap of faith by joining AeroCloud. I guess the money and commission were a major incentive for me. I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted to do with my career if I continued in the legal sector. It was something I was extremely interested in from the moment it landed at my table. I made it my priority to ensure I did everything possible to secure the role!

##What do you hope to achieve with AeroCloud?

Everything? Conquer the aviation world. In all seriousness, my primary goal is to help the company grow exponentially and secure as many deals as possible. Whilst this seems obvious, I also intend to absorb as many skills as possible from the professionals around me. I am surrounded by highly-motivated, talented individuals, and I want to learn as much as I can from them. I hope the foundations are being laid to help me reach the same level my seniors are at - if not higher!

## When you're not helping airports solve operational challenges, what do you like to do?

So since moving to Manchester, I am an approximate 10-minute walk from Piccadilly Train Station, which connects you to the whole of England. This has made it easy to follow my beloved Wigan Athletic up and down the country as best I can, although those days out are not cheap! I also enjoy spending time with my girlfriend, going on nice walks and going out for food. One thing I'm particular about is travelling! I do not like returning to the same places I've visited, and instead enjoy seeing as many different Countries/Cities as I can - so I guess this would fall under the explorer remit.

## What's your professional background?
I am a former Royal Navy Aircraft Technician and worked on Harrier aircraft. Following this, I carried my professional career into commercial aircraft maintenance working for OEM, Airline and MRO in both Part-145 and Part-M environments where I held the role of Commercial Manager with responsibility for winning new business and successfully winning major defence, OEM and airline
contracts.

## Why have you joined AeroCloud?
I wanted to change markets from aircraft maintenance to a more diverse industry, and I was particularly interested to work with a growing SaaS business whilst remaining in aviation. Flexible working was a major draw, allowing me more time in my personal life to improve that work-life balance.

## What do you hope to achieve with AeroCloud?
My goal is to become a senior commercial figure within the business and to be instrumental in winning new business. I really want to enhance my career, improve my knowledge and develop as a manager.

## When you're not helping airports solve operational challenges, what do you like to do?
I love spending time outdoors fishing, cycling, doing any DIY at home and building or making things.

## What’s your background working with airports and in aerospace?

I’m new to the aviation sector but I’ve been in the digital/product arena for over 10 years delivering successful products and services to the health, motor, energy, and IT industries across the US, UK, and Australia.

## Why have you joined AeroCloud?

AeroCloud really struck a chord when I discovered its passion for extending the digital capabilities of Artificial Intelligence, geo-spatial data, and self-service to solve real operational problems within the airport infrastructure.

Witnessing first-hand the technology being used, we are aiding operational and customer success with incredibly short implementation times. Using my experience within product development and customer experience, I believe we have a strong foundation to break the mold of legacy systems by providing an informative data-rich platform with a route to quicker, reliable operational success.

## What do you hope to achieve with AeroCloud?

My ambition is to help drive the success of the AeroCloud platform globally. Enabling airports to manage and connect with their operational stakeholders with ease, using powerful datasets and self-service capabilities.

I’m excited to be solving operational challenges with real customer feedback, driving the next generation of aviation management solutions.

## When you’re not helping airports solve operational challenges, what do you like to do?

When freedom allows, you’ll usually see me hiking up mountains around the English Lakes and countryside. I love scuba diving but my latest challenge is currently learning to fly. My absolute favorite things to enjoy are pizza and a good Netflix binge.

## What’s your background working with airports and in aerospace?

I’ve been working with airports, airlines, and the transportation sector in technology sales roles since 2014. My focus has always been data-driven approaches to solving operational challenges both in the terminal and on the airside.

I am passionate about partnering with customers and product teams to deliver innovative technology solutions that improve the lives of the end users, and the passengers they serve.

## Why have you joined AeroCloud?

I've joined after witnessing AeroCloud deploy AI-driven gate management systems at airports overnight, and in the process save 80% on IT and maintenance costs.

Since coming onboard, I've been able to see for myself that they are unequivocally the most innovative and customer-centric software company in the aviation space.

## What do you hope to achieve with AeroCloud?

My goal is to help airports in North America see innovation as not just attainable, but absolutely necessary. It is crucial that airports adapt to the changing environment. They need to remodel how they operate, how they interact and partner with airlines and other business partners, and how they solve problems and procure technology.

## When you’re not helping airports solve operational challenges, what do you like to do?

Hanging out with my wife, friends, trying to tire out our restless Husky mix, surfing when there are waves at local beaches, or enjoying the great restaurants that New York has to offer.
