The Nassau Airport Development Company (NAD)has added two directors and two managers to its overall leadership team.
Former financial controller, Paula Rigby, was promoted to director of finance at the airport management company. She is joined by Orris Marshall, director of information and technology; Gladstone Adderley, manager, operations centre; and David Adams, manager, customer support services.
“We are pleased to welcome three new faces to our leadership team in the form of Orris, David and Gladstone, and we’re also happy to see Paula take on her new title as director of finance,” said Vernice Walkine, NAD’s president and finance.
Ms Rigby joined NAD from the company’s inception in 2007 and heads a team of 10. Her current tasks include overseeing the financial team and implementing new policies.
Mr Marshall, who holds a bachelor’s degree in Electronic Technology from Norfolk State University, is a veteran in the IT industry. Most recently, he served as assistant director of IT at Atlantis, where he also won manager of the year.
Mr Marshall will focus primarily on upgrading and maintaining all the new integrated systems at Lynden Pindling International Airport (LPIA).
As the new manager of customer support services, Mr Adams heads the landscaping and pest control contracts as well as the signage programme at the airport. He first joined NAD in 2007 as a concierge.
Mr Adderley joined NAD in 2007 as an operations control officer. He also served as a scheduler and, most recently, as the emergency planning coordinator before assuming his new role as manager of operations centre where he heads a team of nine.
Of the new additions, Ms Walkine added: “As we build new terminals for the future, we are mindful that we need to cultivate a sense of leadership within our core employment group.
“It’s significant that of the four new management posts, three of the posts were filled from within. We’ve also been able to recruit a top director for our IT area, proving that our company is an employer of choice for highly qualified Bahamians.”
Ms Walkine added: “In addition to the new managers and new positions, we also reassigned several managers to utilise their strengths in areas where we had management gaps.
“Our former operations centre manager, Deborah Johnson, now serves as manager, customer experience, and Nicole Henfield now heads our parking and ground transportation department.
“Both of these ladies are perfectly placed to assist the company’s objectives of quality customer service delivery, and they are already demonstrating that they are in the right positions and enjoying themselves.”
