Always listen to the experts…
… they tell you that it is impossible and why you can not do it.
When you know that, GO AHEAD
With more than 30 years in aviation and marketing, I have a proven track record of work “outside the beaten path”. As a “Fire Fighter” I have repeatedly shown my competences in project and change management. I have been responsible for the development and sales of cutting-edge technologies successfully leading the related changes in processes and with the people. My heart beats for creative, outside-the-box work …
… like the development of Kolibri.aero. A sound business plan with the financial calculations of my idea for a fossil-free regional airline on a European scale. Taking 7-9 years from launch to fossil-free operation, it could fly already more than 100 regional jets with about 100 seats, 100% fossil-free. But suffers from (impact) investors’ desinterest.
… like AirportInfo.aero calculating European airport catchment area (passengers) under consideration of competitive airports.
… helping airports and airlines as a subject matter expert for Disruption and Winter Operations Management, A-CDM and Airport Operations Center Development.
… helping on Network Planning and Development (a crystal ball business).
… planning and executing marketing activities for passenger and revenue increase
“Juergen is one of the very few people, I really mean, very few, people that
understand both airlines and airports.” [Ned Macesic, former VP SITA.aero]

Recently, I’m involved into an academic project working on a “next-generation LLM” for Artificial intelligence and run my own “pet project” developing a local AI addressing the same ideas of the academic project, using current technology. Being “cutting-edge” and outside the usual boxes again, it takes a bit more effort and time than originally anticipated 😇 And the learning I also apply in my discussions with subject matter experts for aviation AI on LinkedIn and beyond.
Else you find a lot on that and of my other ideas and line of thinking in my Food for Thought blog and on my LinkedIn presence.
I can be reached best on my mobile phone +49 (172) 90 11 999 (also Signal or WhatsApp), also by e-Mail and XMPP at juergen@.
Since 2009 I am married and since 2010, respectively 2013 proud papa of two wonderful daughters, Alexsandra and Sonia! The little time left, I love swimming.
