Leadership

The people running Altair, day to day.

Four disciplines, one management table — engineering, operations, crewing and procurement all report into the same room, so a decision made on one desk doesn’t surprise the other three.

Altair’s leadership team works as a single management table rather than four separate departments — a defect flagged on the technical side, a placement decision on the crewing side, and a vendor negotiation on procurement are all visible to the same room, at the same time. That’s the coordination model the rest of the company is built around.
