Episode 44: The Ponderings Of A Tech Leader In The Airport Industry With Nicholas Woods

It's a shame we rarely get to speak to someone who oversees important aspects of an industry that many of us use. In the context of this podcast, it's the airport industry. Wouldn't it be great to take a peek under the covers of this business arena to appreciate some of its complexities, challenges, and direction? Well, in this episode, we are doing a bit of that peeking. Nicholas Woods, the CIO of the Manchester Airports Group (MAG) joins us to share his leadership journey. The challenges this industry is facing and aspirations for the future. To get an idea of Nicholas's leadership scope, MAG owns and operates Manchester, London Stansted, and East Midlands Airports in the UK. Not one, but three airports. Key takeaways from the podcast are: • Examples of leadership that worked and didn't work • Designing, operating and maintaining tech in an airport • Aspirations for the future of the industry Our Guest: Nicholas Woods LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ngwoods/ Website: MAG (Airports Group) https://www.linkedin.com/company/manchester-airports-group/ Intro and background music: Craig MacArthur - Power Shutoff (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x74iB_jtauw)
