Episode 130: Keeping Planes in the Skies with Data with John Hudson

CTO Confessions Brought to you by IT Labs

All public places get busy at some point in time, but nothing is as busy is airports – the run around the clock and they must do so with incredible precision and efficiency, as incidents and events that stop the flow of people and planes can cause a domino effect that can be hard to mitigate once it gets going. In this episode, I have the CTO of Manchester Airports Group, John Hudson, who sat down for a chat with me to talk about the work he does for them, how he rolls as a leader, all the way to sharing some bits of wisdom stemming from the experience he’s had as a techie and a tech leader. Key takeaways from the podcast are: • How to create champions from the people you have • The importance of succession plans and how they work • Why enjoying yourself while learning is important Our Guest: John Hudson LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-hudson-11588b2a/ Website: https://www.magairports.com/ Intro and background music: Craig MacArthur - Power Shutoff (www.youtube.com/watch?v=x74iB_jtauw)
