Two years ago today, I took a pretty huge and completely unexpected career step when I was asked to step in as Interim CPO, here at Volocopter. Fast forward to today and I feel able to share some of the feelings I had around taking this step and the journey to today: · Pass it on. It was hard for me to take the leap of faith to do this. I am a very proud Mum of three and I had massive moments of self doubt about being able to deliver what everyone would require of me and really being able to fulfill both roles. I was lucky in the support I was offered in this regard: Our Chairman said "It's because you have three children that I know you will be able to do this job". I see it as my responsibility now to enable other people to do things they need the encouragement for. · Team, team, team, team and more team. I have had the blessing of working with an absolute gem of a team who have and continue to support, guide, teach and challenge me every single day. Thank you. · Learning is a daily opportunity, the curve has been steep, at times vertical. Take every day one at a time and don't let yourself get overwhelmed by 'what might happen', live and manage what you can actually influence. Accept that you cannot, and likely never will, know everything related to your role. · Call out what you need: for me it was regular face time with my MDs to have the rapid feedback I needed, especially at the beginning. · Play to your strengths, in my case communication and erm, people. Shape your personal brand around what you can be authentic to. After a few months, the interim position became permanent and I am more than grateful that I accepted the challenge. A big thank you to Stefan Klocke, Dirk Hoke, Christian Bauer, Florian Reuter for believing in my potential, to all the amazing colleagues at Volocopter for the trust and support and especially “my” P&O team, past and present. #teamvolocopter #teamwork #workingmum #challengeaccepted

"𝙈𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙨" continued ... introducing Ceren Koçak, the newest member of the VeeOne Crew. 𝙒𝙚𝙡𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙑𝙚𝙚𝙊𝙣𝙚, 𝘾𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣! 𝙏𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙪𝙨 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 Hello! I am Ceren Koçak Beykal. Early in my career, I was working in the production industry as a planning specialist, and I didn't know that a static and repetitive job was not for me until I met the enormous challenging potential of crew planning. I gained my experience in Pegasus Airlines as a cockpit crew planner and analyst. I was responsible for pairing, rostering and system improvements and later took a role in the Jeppesen project. Every problem that I encounter is a new challenge that must be solved in a unique way to optimize the outcome, which really excites me. 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙗𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙤 𝙑𝙚𝙚𝙊𝙣𝙚? VeeOne as a new startup, is full of like-minded people who feel the same way as me about Planning. I wanted to join the VeeOne team because I wanted to experience the many problems and challenges of companies across the industry rather than within a single company. 𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙙𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝙖𝙨 𝙖 𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙑𝙚𝙚𝙊𝙣𝙚 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙬? I’m very happy to be a part of the VeeOne team. It's exciting to have colleagues from all over the world and I think there is a lot of experience to share. Since day one, everyone has been friendly, helpful and it’s great to get such a warm welcome. VeeOne has a great sincerity that comes from the team energy. 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙑𝙚𝙚𝙊𝙣𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙚𝙩𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚? VeeOne brings a new perspective to crew planning. Being prepared for all kinds of scenarios in an environment subject to constant change is the most important thing that VeeOne offers. I think this service will make a big difference in the new world, where everyone has limited time and resources to achieve optimum results. The planning dynamics of each airline are different but from my perspective, they will all need help at some point. That's where VeeOne can step in. Starting from now, being a part of this game-changing company is an honour for me. Great to have you onboard, Ceren! #planning #building #airline #team #airlines #experience #optimization #mvp #startup #airlinestartup

Behold: EASA - the next generation. My previous boss mr Luc Tytgat who is now executive director is EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency presented yesterday EASA+ in which EASA promises to invite all actors to come together in a new partnership to support rapid innovation, which can help with the drive for reduction of emissions and thus ensure that major sustainability milestones can be reached, while maintaining and improving aviation safety. This new way of working is exactly what we have been proposin here in/from Sweden and also proposed in EU consultations on the Fit for 55 package. And it’s not even sufficient to have this modus operandi within the aviation system. We have to connect with the other sectors on which excellence our success depends. For example the energy sector, agricultural sector, forrestrial sector, infrastructure sector. And other transport modes certainly if we want to achieve a multimodal sustainable transport system. I now hope that the Swedish government and Transportstyrelsen the Swedish CAA quickly takes a leading role in partnering up with Mr Tytgat and his colleagues in Cologne. Why sweden? Let me explain. As an aviation industry organization in Sweden, we are delighted to share our commitment to the future of sustainable aviation. Sweden should be particularly excited about EASAs new direction, and here are the key points that will highlight our enthusiasm: - Sustainable Aviation Fuels: We are firmly committed to fly on SAF and have all the trains and means to become a big producer of sustainable aviation fuels based on renewable feedstock, aligning with our dedication to reducing carbon emissions in the aviation industry. - Leading Electric Regional Aircraft Manufacturer: Sweden takes pride in being home to the leading manufacturer of electric regional aircraft Heart Aerospace contributing significantly to cleaner and more efficient air travel. Heart Aerospace is a member of our association the Swedish Aviation Industry Group. - Sweden as a Leading aviation industry nation: Sweden is one of the few countries in the world that have a very strong aviation industry. We build aircraft and critical components including engines. Per capita we are probably the biggest. This industry already today creates more sustainable aviation technology and will continue to do so. - Sustainable Business Transformation: On the operational side, Swedish companies, airlines, airports, ATS providers and in fact the entire aviation system, are pioneers in leading the way toward a sustainable transformation of the aviation business, setting a shining example for the global industry. Enhanced EASA Collaboration: Sweden should now decide to collaborate closely with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency to ensure that our sustainable aviation initiatives align with European standards and regulations, reinforcing our commitment to a greener aviation future. https://lnkd.in/dQHsjRzr Transportföretagen Flyg

As news about iAero Airways struck like thunder, let me offer my deepest gratitude to every hardworking colleague I was privileged to meet and work with over the past 8 months. To this point, I guess, I was too naïve with the meaning of Chapter 11, only to realize that it feels more like playing with fire than a smooth ride towards greener pastures! When I embarked onto my new challenge less than a year ago, iAero felt very familiar with my beginnings at Amerijet International back in 2018. A group of “can do” attitude individuals who work around-the-clock to keep the planes flying. Harnessing tribal knowledge and wearing multiple hats, they created a family culture, which felt charming. Nevertheless, when airlines’ growth ambitions take over, the lack of structured processes, discipline, and accountability that can be measured (SMART goals), turn out to be the Horsemen of the Business Apocalypse. To my surprise, iAero filed Chapter 11 merely few days after I started introducing disciplined and engineered approach into Tech Ops, Crew Resources, Finance, and Commercial areas. With my fellow professionals Brendan Welsh, Mike Hancuch, Jon Goldin, and Suzanne Boda, we instilled standardized Project Management Framework and Projects Governance to reignite Strategic Projects, aiming to optimize, streamline, and ultimately transform the abovementioned functions. We successfully delivered the First Wave of Projects, only to be abruptly stopped by the realization that the Financial Restructuring under Chapter 11 never really took off! We all leave sad but with peaceful minds that we’ve done the best we could in this short amount of time. It's been an honor to work alongside such talented and passionate aviation professionals. Personally, my best memory is an incredibly satisfying feeling when unleashing the potential of my colleagues. Some of them transformed themselves, and I’m sure many businesses out there will benefit by having them onboard. Onwards and upwards! 🚀
