Sian Bevans and Tenniel Newton are the latest Bahamians to become part of the management team at the Nassau Airport Development Company.

Mrs Bevans joins as the company’s new director for “people” – in charge of staff coaching and training – while Mrs Newton will be manager for business analysis.

“We are very pleased to welcome both Sian and Tenniel to our team. Sian brings to NAD many years of human resources experience in the brewing, hospitality, and tourism sectors,” said Stewart Steeves, NAD’s president and CEO. “Tenniel is a major asset to the company, who prior to joining NAD, worked in the financial and commercial analysis areas at the Department of Statistics and the US Embassy.”

The new managers come at a time when the airport is undergoing a $409.5 million redevelopment. While transforming the physical infrastructure, the airport management company is also focused on transforming the overall experience for LPIA users.

Mrs Bevans, who holds a bachelor’s degree in Business Management from Omega College, will report directly to Chris Ryan, vice president for finance and chief financial officer.

Mrs Newton, a 2004 graduate of York University’s Economics and Business programme and a level one CFA candidate, will report to Vernice Walkine, vice president of marketing and commercial development.

She will analyse factors impacting upon route service development, commercial performance and passenger trends.

Mr Steeves said: “The addition of these two ladies to the management group further strengthens our capacity to build and develop LPIA into the world-class facility it is destined to become for the benefit of the people of the Bahamas.”
