about me.
My name is Björn Hartmann. I am an executive and consultant with more than 25 years of international management and advisory experience across aviation, transport, logistics and services.
Through my consulting brand, aSolutions Aviation Advisory, I support companies in strategic business development, new business and business model development, transformation and digitalization.
What particularly interests me is identifying business opportunities and turning them into something tangible. I support companies in assessing new opportunities, de-veloping viable business and service concepts and business cases, and translating ideas into practical implementation.
My approach combines strategic and conceptual thinking with hands-on operational management experience. Having led complex aviation operations and international transformation projects, I understand both, the strategic perspective and the oper-ational reality behind successful change.
In addition to strategic and project-based advisory mandates, I provide interim management support for airport operations and aviation service organisations.
Every company has its own story, opportunities and challenges. I look forward to learning about yours.
