RAUNHEIM, Germany – January
31, 2005 – Jettainer
GmbH named Judith
Pitchford director of business
development responsible for sales of the
company's outsourced air cargo unit load
device (ULD) management solution.
Jettainer has created the first outsourced
solution for the airline industry that efficiently
manages and tracks ULDs and their contents
as they travel around the world, and the first
to support the formation and management of
a global ULD pool.
Pitchford has worked in the airline business
for ten years – the past two with OAG Worldwide,
where she was a senior account manager responsible
for sales of schedule data products to all
North American global distribution systems
and e-portals. She was responsible also for
partnerships and launching new products in
the mobile telephone space.
Pitchford is the former regional sales manager
for United Airlines' business jet division,
where she helped to establish the carrier in
the fractional private jet business. Prior
to that she held various positions at United
including brand manager, serving on the Star
Alliance product development committee, and
senior financial analyst where she was involved
with diverse corporate projects. Additionally,
Pitchford has several years of consulting experience
in the energy management industry.
Jettainer managing director Dr.
Mohammed Ali Seiraffi said, “The airline industry has a
history of outsourcing key operational activities
to outside suppliers, yet outsourcing ULD management
has not been one of them. Judy is uniquely
qualified to present our global ULD network
that balances the flow and inventory of ULDs,
one that features perhaps the largest ULD fleet
in the world, offering customers economies
of scale in purchasing, maintenance and engineering.
Also she understands our technology offering
and can communicate how it plans, tracks and
manages ULD movements and optimizes the entire
global network. Judy is the perfect person
to help lead the company through a period of
tremendous opportunity and growth.”
