Product Manager for a new In-Flight Entertainment System - eFX



Example of hardware units that I was intimately involved in during the design process for a new IFE system. These particular units are part of a wide-body system, adapted for use from eFX, a narrow body system.

While I wasn't at Panasonic while eFX took the IFE market by storm, I did set the foundation with the design, branding, product positioning, technical requirements with Airbus (Germany), and early marketing to airlines - personally at Dragon Air (Hong Kong), and Debis aircraft leasing (Amsterdam)
