She will direct concessions planning strategies and programs for MarketPlace Development within those airports and in partnership with the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority.
“I am particularly pleased that Kathleen is bringing her expertise and insights to our management and leasing of the concessions programs at Dulles International and Reagan National and building on the work we’ve accomplished with the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority over the past six years,” says Paul McGinn, president of MarketPlace Development.
