Business Analytics & Strategy Manager, Gerald R. Ford International Airport
oe Khattak has always been fascinated by
the aviation industry. "I did not know
exactly what I wanted to major or specialize in
during high school, but one thing I was sure on
is that I wanted to pursue a career
in aviation," Khattak said.
Khattak is a business analytics
and strategy manager at Gerald R.
Ford International Airport (GRR).
He works closely with the CEO,
COO and rest of the airport's
leadership group and provides
analytical work used in business
decision making processes. Some
of the projects he has delivered to the executive
team involves assessment of risk analysis using
complex simulations (Monte Carlo, Fisher
models, etc), building revenue management
models that play a vital role in negotiations
with TNCs and constructing statistical models
to forecast various variable impact on passenger
growth and concession sales.
According to GRR COO Alex Peric,
"Moe did not only produce professional
consultants work in-house, but his leadership
has been stellar in developing short and longterm data strategy and formed the data analytics
unit from scratch." All his efforts have helped
further revenue advancements at the airport.
"I have direct access to the C-suite and
I am involved in everything from ground
transportation, concessions, passenger
number crunching, to constructing real estate
development financial models and present my
findings to the leadership group at the airport,"
Khattak said.
Khattak said, "airport executives in the
U.S. need to develop enterprise wide policy
and understand that data and analytics is the
new frontier in finding innovative solutions to
our business problems, become more effective
and productive and maintain a competitive
edge over other businesses," Khattak said.
One of Khattak's goals is to help smaller
