Consultancy firm IBA Group has expanded the role for its chief operating officer, Stuart Hatcher, to include the role of managing director of aviation services.
In the role, Hatcher will steer IBA’s principal business divisions of Valuations, Advisory and Asset Management.
In another move, the company has introduced Terry Dawson, as managing director – Digital, to lead data intelligence services and develop the business strategy for IBA.iQ - an online platform providing fleet, valuation and trend market intelligence to the global aviation leasing, operating, finance and MRO community.
Commenting on the changes, Hatcher said: “To differentiate what IBA can offer in the highly competitive market of aviation data, it was critical for us to develop algorithms within IBA.iQ that would enable users to lock into the technical and financial expertise that is integral to IBA. Solving customers’ everyday problems is our sole focus and we wanted senior decision makers within the industry to have the confidence to access our data secure in the knowledge that it was supported by knowledge and expert analysis.
“Terry brings huge experience from the world of
digital platform strategy and development from senior positions with RELX Group
and Thomson Reuters, and he will guide the evolution of IBA.iQ moving
forwards as we maintain our commitment to the provision of
up-to-date, comprehensive and accurate data.”
