Paul Wylde: PEC opening keynote speaker
Wylde’s address will feature in the opening plenary session, Renewal and Revolution, which will focus on the vital role that the passenger experience community will have to play in helping to rebuild the aviation industry to be robust to ongoing challenges, wherever the opportunity presents itself. It will launch a day of discussion that aims to envision the arc of sustainable, worthwhile business that will be lucrative for aviation and desirable for travellers and wider society.
Wylde’s years of experience make him the ideal speaker to open the conference in this, its first in-person event since before the pandemic. He has enjoyed a broad and varied career with projects spanning brand strategy, experience design, brand identity design, communications, service style and food & beverage design. In the past, he has worked in leading design roles for British Airways, BMW, The Boeing Company, Interbrand and Frog Design.
Polly Magraw, Event Director, commented:
“We are thrilled to welcome Paul Wylde as our keynote speaker, and look forward to hearing the insights that he will share with us. His vast experience makes him a superb addition to our speaker line up and we look forward to welcoming him to Hamburg.
“We know that the pandemic has fundamentally shifted how the aviation sector does business, with an increased focus on building anew for the future and not simply repairing the past. Experienced and dedicated professionals like Paul are critical in helping the industry respond to the different passenger types while creating flying experiences that meet their needs and address their values, as it is they who will be in the vanguard of the industry’s recovery.”
