Awery has started the year as it means to go on: expanding its team to support its growing customer base and portfolio. New on board are Christian Gessner and David Kerr. Both gentlemen bring decades of air cargo experience and a range of skills across marketing, sales, business and digital transformation, consulting, and technology. Kerr, who joins on a consultancy basis, previously held senior positions at Etihad Cargo and European Cargo, after a long stint at American Airlines. He will assist with the technology provider’s overall strategic growth and customer engagement as it seeks to promote digital transformation across the air cargo industry. Gessner takes on the role of Business Development Manager in Awery’s commercial team, and brings in his expertise gained at the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and other significant aviation software providers, to support the development and adoption of Awery’s air cargo technology.
Christian Gessner stated: “Awery has built a strong reputation for delivering ERP solutions that genuinely support cargo operators day-to-day, while also playing a key role in accelerating technology adoption across an industry that has historically been slow to digitize. I’m joining Awery to tackle a critical industry challenge: accelerating the adoption of practical technology that delivers measurable gains in efficiency, compliance and performance for cargo operators worldwide.”
David Kerr commented: “Having worked closely with airline cargo teams for many years, I understand the operational priorities and challenges Awery’s customers face, and what it takes to deliver tools that bring real improvements. I am excited about the opportunity to join the dots of cross-industry initiatives, and to build on the current momentum of industry digitalization with Awery’s practical and effective tools.”
Tristan Koch, Chief Commercial Officer, Awery, explained: “As Awery continues to grow, we are building out our team with the very best from the industry. Both David and Christian have established reputations within air cargo, and their experience will be invaluable in continuing Awery’s success as we expand our commercial reach.”
