USA. OTG Management, which operates a large number of US airport food & beverage outlets, has announced the promotion of Natalie Mazza to Chief Product Officer.
Her role combines responsibility for product development, strategic business planning and team leadership, with a strong emphasis on creating solutions through technology.
In her expanded role, Mazza – who has been with OTG for nine years – will lead the strategic products team, and oversee the company’s tech-focused product portfolio. This includes various applications that comprise OTG’s fully customised tablet and mobile POS technology, back-office applications, integration hubs and data warehouse.
Described by OTG as a strong strategic and innovative thinker, Mazza has progressed through several senior OTG roles after starting as an Office Manager in 2013.
Mazza said: “I’ve been with OTG for nearly a decade, in a time where such tenure is uncommon, particularly in the gig economy. I am often asked why I’ve stayed with one company for so long. My answer is simple: OTG provides an exciting, innovative, and illuminating experience every single day.
“The people here are brilliant, industrious, and enthusiastic about what they do. They really care. The trinity uniting a passionate workforce, dynamic leadership and a company culture deeply rooted in innovation – it’s magical.”
OTG CEO Rick Blatstein said: “I am thrilled to announce the promotion of Natalie Mazza to Chief Product Officer. Her in-depth knowledge of our business and passion for people are a perfect match for our organisation as we continue to experience rapid growth and prosperity.”
He added: “OTG is defined by our crew members and nurturing and developing our talent is key to our success.”
