Awery snaps up Volga's Phaedra den Hertog to assist expansion

Awery Aviation Software, a growing Ukrainian air cargo IT specialist, has appointed Phaedra den Hertog as its customer success project manager.

With increasing customers for its cargo management package, Awery said it was keen to boost its team.

Ms den Hertog has worked for Cathay Pacific, Polar Air Cargo, Kales and, for the past 13 years, in various positions at AirBridgeCargo and Volga-Dnepr, where she oversaw the implementation of its cargo management programme.

“My background in air cargo and my experience of digitisation meant that joining the Awery team was the logical next step for me,” said Ms den Hertog.

“Awery is growing at a tremendous pace, and I look forward to being part of a team that comprises hands-on air cargo experience and cutting-edge technology expertise.”

She will initially focus on Awery’s Netherlands client portfolio, before overseeing and managing projects across Europe.

COO Tristan Koch said: “In response to the unprecedented growth in both airline and general sales agent customers opting for Awery ERP software, we have an uncompromising strategy to grow our team numbers with the best talent. Phaedra has vast experience in practical air cargo operations and digitisation and will be a tremendous asset to Awery’s senior management team.”

Awery reported a 400% growth in transactions between October and March, with its CargoBooking and eMagic software solutions processing more than 4,000 transactions a month.

Awery ERP is a customisable web-based air cargo platform for business processes automation, including sales management, operations, finance and HR.
