💬 Yesterday, our CEO Oliver Väärtnõu participated at the AFCEA Europe Chapter event TechNet Europe 2024 held in Helsinki, Finland. Oliver contributed to the high-level debate titled "Status of Digitalisation in Defence". Below are Oliver's main takeaways ⬇️ 👉 Change requires the creation of urgency and driven leadership. This is what we see today. Unfortunately, the change is not coming from within but is being pushed to us by what is happening on the battlefield. 👉 The key to success is close collaboration with industries – most innovative ideas are hard to “procure” and then adopt, especially by closed systems like defence. Close collaboration is the key to deliver systems that can create a strategic advantage.

𝘈 𝘎𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘺✈️ I had the opportunity to shadow Emmy Kabai, Chief Commercial Officer at BMT Aerospace and it was an eye-opening experience. BMT, part of the larger BMT Group, is a key player in providing manufacturing services to the aerospace industry. In my day with Emmy, I learned firsthand about the challenges and rewards of leading a dynamic commercial team in a highly competitive sector. From navigating the impacts of the COVID crisis on the aerospace market to fostering a culture of innovation through digitisation and robotics, Emmy shared invaluable lessons on leadership. Her approach—focused on empowering teams, encouraging open communication, and prioritizing customer intimacy—was both inspiring and educational. It reinforced my belief in the power of collaboration and adaptability in driving business success. 💡 One key takeaway for me was how essential it is to understand the broader context of your role and industry. Whether it's managing complex stakeholder expectations, making tough decisions under pressure, or staying ahead through innovation, the ability to think strategically while remaining flexible is critical in leadership. Thank you to Emmy and the entire BMT team for such an enriching experience. Looking forward to applying these insights as I continue my journey in the business world! #Leadership #Aerospace #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #CommercialManagement #CareerDevelopment

📰 ✈️The past five years have been a rollercoaster for European business aviation. Our colleague Arthur Thomas explains in his article how #COVID19 reshaped the industry in ways we couldn’t have predicted. From mid-2021 to late 2022, business aviation surged—new customer demand and disrupted commercial flights created unprecedented activity. But here’s the twist: despite claims of explosive growth, the data tells a story of #resilience, not revolution. By late 2022, activity mirrored 2007 levels. It’s a powerful reminder: stability, not hype, defines this sector. 📖 Read the whole article here: https://lnkd.in/eWmsFSKq #Aviation #BusinessAviation #Sustainability #Leadership

Haruka Nishimatsu, was one of the first leaders in Aviation I ever learnt about. Mr. Nishimatsu, a true icon whose leadership transcends industries!
