November 16, 2016 at 4:18 pmExcellent appointment. Having worked with Vladimir over many years his dedication to the logistics chain and specifically Air Cargo has always been clearly present.
TIACA is growing beyond the old model of the ACF to a true voice of the entire industry which is where the future is. Vladimir, with his experience and knowledge plus his extensive network is the right man for the job.

November 16, 2016 at 4:28 pmMany congratulations to Vladimir. Over the past years I have seen him at various venues and served on some of his panels. Always well prepared, understanding the issues and challenges, and adding a touch of humor to make serious topics interesting to a wider public. He has always supported the inclusion of many industry special interest groups like Cargo iQ. I am confident that in his new role he will build bridges between the relevant stakeholders and connect the regions of the world. If we want to improve and innovate our industry we need to work together, there is no other way. With Vladimir at the helm I am sure he will continue to steer TIACA in the right direction. A choice well made!

It’s a great choice I think. TIACA represents a broad church and Vladimir will add new insight and skills to existing expertise. I also think that the obvious success of ACF in Paris highlights the fact that TIACA has upped the stakes with regards to its events. I’m really looking forward to working with Vladimir, Warren and the TIACA team on ACF 2018 and Multimodal Americas 2018
Best regards
Rob

November 16, 2016 at 5:37 pmThe Airforwarders Association looks forward to working with Vladimir and his new team. TIACA is the one organization covering all elements of the air cargo supply chain and it’s good to have a leader with an international regulatory focus at its helm. We wish him the best of luck and hope he will not hesitate to call upon us for assistance.

November 17, 2016 at 7:53 pmI really like the selection of Vladimir as the next Secretary General of TIACA. He has a solid policy background and a great deal of experience coming into this job since he has been on the board for several years. He will be able to continue the solid foundation that Doug has laid and with Warren taking on the commercial side of the association, TIACA should be in good hands for the next several years. Both Vladimir and Warren are committed to the air cargo industry and more importantly have strong support from the air cargo community at large. I wish them both the best of luck as they move to the next phase of TIACA’s development.
