AeroCloud has appointed Travis Kimmel as an independent advisor to the CEO and the board. The new appointment follows a successful $12.6M Series A funding round in 2023.
Kimmel brings a wealth of experience in the sustainable growth of software businesses, with his most recent role as GM at people management platform Lattice. His other experience includes co-founding cloud-based productivity and analytics solution GitPrime, of which he is the former CEO, and his role as President of financial media and education platform RealVision.
“It’s common for founders to find that the stakes get higher following a Series A funding raise,” said Travis Kimmel, New Board Member, AeroCloud. “Focus increasingly turns towards operationalisations, efficiency and elements such as revenue per employee and growth strategy. Navigating this pivotal moment in a company’s growth is challenging for a CEO, and I am a huge believer, having had fantastic support when growing my own business, of the positive role that board members can play as an ally, an advocate and an advisor.”
In the new role, Kimmel will offer expert advice to George Richardson, CEO, AeroCloud, to support AeroCloud’s vision to become the overall market leader for airport technology.
“AeroCloud is in a compelling position as it is disrupting an industry that has very few similar upstart players, despite being ripe for disruption,” added Kimmel. “In addition, George is the best person to lead AeroCloud in the mission to revolutionise the sector. He’s ambitious and has the drive that makes an exceptional entrepreneur. I’m looking forward to working with and supporting him in navigating AeroCloud through its next stage of growth.”
“The search was vast with a huge commitment of time to find the right person,” said George Richardson, CEO, AeroCloud, “I am super glad we landed Travis. I am certain that his experience will be instrumental in securing AeroCloud’s position as the leading technology provider that empowers airports, streamlines operations and enhances the overall passenger experience.”
