Christiaan Hen has an impressive background in the field of aviation. His professional trajectory took flight at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, where he worked on developing and managing airport capacity. After managing terminal operations for several years, he went on to become Head of Innovation for the Schiphol Group. His decade-long role in airport operations, development, and innovation set him up for his next position as Chief Customer Officer at Assaia International.
