ABOUT AXEL FRIEDRICH
It is captivating how technology can transform industries - especially aviation. My journey began as a research associate and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering. The results contributed to the introduction of airport moving map applications across the industry. This foundation set me up for an exciting career where I could blend my technical expertise with my passion for innovation.In my role as Vice President of Software Services at Satcom Direct, I am crafting next-generation solutions for customers in the business aviation, military and government sectors. Before this role, I spent nearly nine years at NAVBLUE (an Airbus Company) as Director of Product Management. One of my proudest moments was creating a single, cohesive Electronic Flight Bag platform - this not only streamlined operations but significantly enhanced user experience for pilots.My earlier experiences also shaped my approach towards product management; whether it was the entry into market for flight deck solutions at Lufthansa Systems or pioneering paradigm shifts in aeronautical data management with the Federal Office of Civil Aviation Switzerland- I learned that collaboration is key!If you’re interested in discussing innovative approaches within the aviation sector or exploring collaborative opportunities around product development - feel free to reach out here on LinkedIn!
