After 20 years of leadingFuture Travel Experience, FTE Founder & Board Member Daniel Coleman has announced he is stepping away.
“I have decided that this is the right moment for me to step away from day-to-day involvement in the business, take a much-needed recharge, and pursue new personal life adventures,” said Coleman.
He added, “Building FTE from just an idea into a truly global, multi-platform business has required immense hard work and sacrifice, and – most importantly – an incredible team around me. I am enormously proud of what we have created together and what FTE represents today: a platform that connects thousands of aviation leaders worldwide, sparks meaningful innovation for airlines & airports, and drives unrivalled collaboration that delivers real progress for passengers and industry professionals alike.”
In a March 26 statement, Coleman said he is “hugely confident” about FTE’s future, with Max Gosney stepping into the role of Managing Director.
Gosney brings more than two decades of experience across events, journalism, and media, alongside deep aviation expertise from his role as Portfolio Director & Conference Chairman at Ground Handling International since 2017.
“His proven ability to drive engagement, community and collaboration aligns perfectly with FTE’s mission, and I am delighted to hand him the leadership baton as he works to guide FTE to even greater heights with the invaluable support of our Advisory Board (which has recently added senior representatives from Virgin Atlantic & Munich Airport to our impressive line-up),” said Coleman of Gosney's appointment.
