Rusada, the aviation software provider, has announced the appointment of Neil Andrews as chief technology officer.

During his more than 30 years in software development, Andrews has worked for the likes of Open GI, Experian and most recently SSP, where he held the position of head of delivery for its Pure Broker and Sector product lines.

At Rusada, Andrews will be responsible for the ongoing development of the company's MRO and flight operations software Envision, using his know-how to drive the continuous improvement of quality, functionality and accessibility. He will be based at the company's Banbury office in Oxfordshire, UK and will report directly to Rusada CEO Julian Stourton, who says: “Neil's track record of success and development expertise made him the standout candidate for this role. His wide range of experience in areas outside of aviation will give us a fresh perspective on our ways of working and allow us to adopt best practices from other industries.”

Andrews adds: “I am delighted to be joining Rusada as its new CTO. Envision's reputation in the market is second to none, so the opportunity to lead its development and further enhancement was one I couldn't refuse. I look forward to working with my new colleagues here in the UK and around the world.”
