About
Air cargo professional with 20+ years of experience across GSAs and major airlines, including British Airways and SWISS. I combine deep operational knowledge with strong commercial leadership, built from a career that started on the ground and grew through progressively senior roles. I bring a full understanding of the airfreight chain, GHAs, forwarders, special cargo (DG, pharma, AVI, VAL), ULD limitations, trucking, yield, budgeting, and performance management. This operational foundation allows me to take decisions that are practical, profitable, and customer-focused. Entrepreneurial by nature, I drive revenue growth, optimize costs, and develop long-term partnerships. I’m experienced in strategy, pricing, team leadership, negotiations, and building strong relationships across the industry. Known for being action-oriented, solution-driven, and calm under pressure. My mix of commercial acumen, operational expertise, and a wide international network positions me as a leader capable of growing and strengthening cargo businesses in a fast-evolving aviation landscape.
