joining Datalex, a market leader in airline retail technology. The ability to
provide an innovative digital retail experience across the full customer
journey for some of the largest airline brands, really appeals to me. I am
looking forward to working with the team, as we lead Datalex into its next
phase. Given my background in finance, technology and strategic partnerships,
I aim to use a combination of the existing capabilities within Datalex and
build some new ones to unlock future growth opportunities."
