Bio
Asif Parkar
Having worked with Iain for 18 months I have been impressed by the pace at which he grasped the nuances of the Travel sector and even more his ability to deliver significant change at the same time. Iain brings a structured, data led analytical approach and was instrumental in achieving meaningful cost reductions whilst growing margin in a number of businesses. Iain also demonstrated his ability to successfully manage key stakeholders and craft mutually beneficial commercial structures. He’s a strong leader who brings a clear, common sense approach.

Having collaborated with Iain on a number of strategic and people projects during his time at MMI, I found him to be a authentic, self aware and passionate leader. Iain’s ability to set and communicate a clear direction, measured through tangible results was very positive for our partnership. I found Iain’s style of setting stretching targets, taking ownership for results and acting with pace and agility highly effective in leading, developing and growing mutual commercial objectives.
