Over a 25-year career, he has held executive-level positions with some of the industry's largest operating companies within different international regions for privately held and publicly listed companies.
Oliveira e Silva, said, "I'm very much looking forward to being part of the team that will bring into the market the next-generation logistics networks for e-commerce, pharma, agriculture shipments, special cargo, and spare parts. I am excited to be again involved in another successful pioneer venture within the aviation logistics industry".
As a COO of DRONAMICS, he will be responsible for the set-up and operations of the airline business, the deployment of the droneport network, and the upcoming operational authorisations under the fast-evolving drone regulations around the globe.
