  • Define and implement regional aviation cost and commercial strategy, ensuring alignment with global best practices.
  • Act as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, including airport authorities, government entities, and private investors.
  • Lead development of capital expenditure plans, cost models, and investment strategies for complex aviation infrastructure projects.
  • Oversee commercial structuring, procurement strategies, and contract frameworks for major programmes.
  • Lead and mentor a team of cost and commercial professionals, ensuring high-quality delivery and capability development.
  • Develop and maintain a robust aviation cost benchmark database to support advisory services and strategic decision-making.
  • Drive business development, client engagement, and key account management within the aviation sector.
  • Lead preparation of strategic bids, proposals, and commercial submissions for major aviation opportunities.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to deliver integrated solutions across large-scale programmes.
  • Ensure strong governance, risk management, and financial control across all engagements.
