Vantage Group has appointed Karen Ali as its next COO at JFK Millennium Partners (JMP), the Vantage-led company that manages both JFK Terminal 7 and the development of JFK’s new Terminal 6.
Prior to her appointment with JMP, Ali has held various senior leadership positions at WestJet and Lynx Air. Most recently, Ali served as the COO of luxury watch retailer Avi & Co., where she led ecommerce, logistics, sales and marketing strategies, increasing profitability and business performance.
At JMP, Ali will manage operations, customer experience, budget and capital projects, risk management, and people leadership at Terminals 6 and 7. “I am excited to join the Vantage and JFK Millennium Partners team as we create a world-class new Terminal 6 at JFK,” said Ali. “I look forward to contributing to the existing operational excellence and creating innovative guest experiences that will become hallmarks of our future 1.2 million square foot terminal.”
“It’s an exciting time to join our Vantage Group-JMP team as we enter a pivotal stage in T6’s development while continuing to manage a very active and thriving Terminal 7 operation,” added Steve Thody, CEO at JFK Millennium Partners. “Karen’s extensive experience in operations management and business growth are an excellent fit for our $4.2 billion T6 transformation, and we couldn’t be happier to have her onboard.”
