– Spafax is delighted to announce two new appointments to its business development and software development teams:

May 22, 2012– Sam Still has been appointed to the position of Director, Business Planning, based in the Spafax London office. Sam joins the new business team, in which she will play a key role in planning the implementation and delivery of new products and services, in both the core IFE business and in the fast growing digital business areas that Spafax is delivering for new and existing clients.

Sue Pinfold, Executive Vice President of IFE for Spafax says that “I am really delighted to welcome aboard someone with Sam’s wealth of experience and knowledge across so many key areas of the business. At this exciting time in Spafax’s continued growth and development, she will make a great addition to our new business team”.

Before joining Spafax, Sam spent 17 years at Inflight Productions, where she worked as International Licensing Manager and before that in a range of account management positions. This included a number of years as Account Director for Air New Zealand. Her responsibilities ranged from the development of content licensing strategies to the management of key client service and programming activities, for clients as varied as American Airlines, Cathay Pacific and Qatar Airways.

Also joining Spafax in London is Dan McInerney, where he recently took up the post of Software Development Manager. Dan was also previously at Inflight Productions, where he spent 12 years leading the team that developed and implemented tools for the efficient online administration of IFE operational procedures and metadata management. He will now be working with the Spafax software team to support the continued enhancement of Spafax’s existing IFE management products and the rollout of even more features to support the integration of future system developments.

Tony Taverner, Group Technical Director and himself a recent addition to the Spafax leadership team, welcomes Dan to the group, commenting that “Dan’s highly specialised understanding of the inner workings of the IFE business will be a great asset to all of us at Spafax and of course to our clients”.
