Sara Van Gelder, Brussels Airport’s cargo digital development manager, is joining data sharing platform Nallian.
Within BRUcargo, Sara was instrumental in driving forward BRUcloud, the cargo cloud initiative of Brussels Airport and the local cargo community.
Underlying BRUcloud runs Nallian’s Data Sharing platform for Air Cargo Communities, Cargo Cloud.
Nallian is rolling out the Cargo Cloud in airports across Europe, the Americas and Asia Pacific, including Liege Airport, Luxembourg Airport, Vienna Airport, London Heathrow and Dallas Fort-Worth.
Van Gelder will help these and future airport communities to get quick and maximum value from these initiatives.
Nallian CEO Jean Verheyen said: “We are so thrilled to welcome Sara in the team. We look very much forward to leveraging Sara’s drive and deep expertise.
“Not only to help our clients, but also to help drive forward Nallian’s product portfolio so that it becomes even more the leading platform of choice for airport cargo communities.
“In the end, we want to continue to bring the best possible cargo cloud to the market, as seen from the perspective of cargo communities, airports and shippers.”
Said Van Gelder: “I consider BRUcloud as my child. My dream is to see airport cargo communities around the globe adopt similar digital initiatives, so that one day, air cargo can not just claim back the position it deserves, but also cope with growth without having to double physical infrastructure.
“That day, air cargo will be operating truly as one. And I believe that the best possible place for me to have the broadest possible impact on realising this dream is with Nallian.”
