About Ian Ackland
Senior business leader who is passionate about people development and empowerment, and laser-focused on driving results and then celebrating successes as a team. Entrepreneurial spirit and strategic planner inspired by taking start-up phase initiatives into ready-to-scale structures. Industry board member steering data-driven innovation within the travel industry.If all that sounds a bit like blurb, I basically love collaborating with people to lead successful initiatives. The travel industry got me early on and kept me under its wing, but the theme throughout has been finding the small gems and growing them to large, valuable jewels. I\'m excited by initial chaos, able to cut through to clarity and then to communicate a clear plan. I just realized I used gems, jewels, cut and clarity in 2 sentences. And the only thing I actually wear is my wedding ring.Sharing ideas, talking through pain points and coming up with something new inspires me. As much as I love Homes and Apartments and system Connectivity, I will really talk to almost anyone about anything if it means we start with a problem and end up with a solution. So if you got this far and you think I can add value, don\'t be a stranger and let me know!
