🛫 Boarding the next chapter of my professional trajectory in travel and tech! I believe travel organizations need to reshape their tech footprint adopting platforms which streamline their operations and multiply inventory composition and distribution possibilities, to leverage their assets, create new products and ultimately enable new business models. 🧳 I’m grateful to have been able to do just that at Alpitour World for the last three years, where we engaged both IT and business in #InNOVA, our digital transformation programme leading to the re-invention of how tour operating functions. I’ve been shaping Architecture and implementing connectivity to our sourcing and distribution partners from the privileged vantage point of the major Italian tourism conglomerate, and it has been humbling to do it alongside some of the most expert minds in tourism. ...

In a moment where the focus can’t be only on people’s #travel, airlines are boosting their other focus as the fabric of commerce and logistics. #blockchain fits naturally in this space, and it’s exciting to follow the progress of this initiative less fancy but well positioned to democratize the cargo #aviation.
