- Take end-to-end ownership of major system implementations, integrations, upgrades and lifecycle management.
- Ensure the availability and operational performance of mission-critical passenger systems within a 24/7 airport environment.
- Direct the response to major system incidents and restore passenger-processing operations quickly and effectively.
- Lead the continued implementation and development of biometric and seamless passenger-journey solutions.
