• Market Scouting & External Exploration: Conduct competitive benchmarking and investigate new external trends in commercial aviation services to build validated "go-to-market" hypotheses.

• Strategy to Execution: Act as an internal consultant to help redesign workflows, resolve friction points (tech, operational, etc.), and build the internal processes necessary to support new growth.

• Commercial Viability: Designing the value proposition, pricing models, and prototypes to prove the commercial value of a new service or product.
