Awery Aviation Software is continuing the expansion of its management team. Last week, CargoForwarder Global reported that Gianluca Marcangelo had been appointed Executive Vice President of Global Sales. This week, the air cargo sales and technology company has announced that Cornelia Korsch has joined Awery as its Global Development Director, both for Awery as well as its digital air cargo quoting and booking platform, CargoBooking. Her responsibilities include attracting more airlines and capacity to the booking platform, and driving adoption among the freight forwarding community.
Cornelia Korsch’s air cargo career began in Hamburg in 1990, and includes a solid two-decade stint at Cargolux Airlines in sales and reservations, followed by AirBridgeCargo Airlines LLC until 2022 in sales and business development (also digital), and then WebCargo by Freightos, in global airline partnerships and air cargo technology.
Cornelia Korsch said: “CargoBooking combines smart, AI-powered tools with a simple and efficient booking experience, making it easier for airlines to put their capacity in front of forwarders and for forwarders to find and book the capacity they need. I’m looking forward to bringing my experience with airlines and technology providers to CargoBooking and working across the air cargo community to help them reach more customers and maximize the opportunities that digital distribution can offer.”
Vitaly Smilianets, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Awery, commented: “This is an exciting period of growth for CargoBooking, and we’re delighted to have Cornelia on board to support and further drive that momentum. Cornelia understands what airlines need from a digital booking platform, and that insight will be invaluable as we bring more carriers onto CargoBooking, giving forwarders greater choice and access to more capacity.”
