About Addison Schonland
I like being near the cutting edge of information flow and new ideas. One of my greatest joys comes from coming up with novel solutions to problems. I have an incurable curiosity. Broad experience in the travel and tourism industries, including 20+ years in market research and consulting for large and small clients - from the US Dept. of Commerce and airlines, and aerospace OEMs. I helped develop a solution to identify potential passenger threats to airlines post 9/11 and then migrated the technology to identify VIPs for a hotel chain. I handled relationships with over 50 international airlines and the top three OEMs: Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, and Airbus. I undertook what may be the world\'s first market research project using airplane seat-back TV screens in 1995. I also pioneered dedicated Internet connections (kiosks) at hotels to provide a client with real-time guest feedback. My former blog was voted as one of the 50 best business blogs by the prestigious London Times.(http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/media/article19•••06.ece) You can check out what I am doing nowadays at I am a big fan of AI and use it for analysis and modeling.Specialties: data science, market research, airline passenger research, and commercial aviation.
