“We have always believed in the power of technology to move this industry forward, and I am incredibly proud of what my team and I have achieved together so far.”
The judging panel also recognised Smilianets for his commitment to encouraging young talent, highlighting the teams he has built across his operations, specifically within CargoBooking, which is headed up by Anna Balan, winner of Young Airfreight Professional of the Year at the 2024 Air Cargo News Awards.
