BagsID announced October 3 the appointment of Richard Camman as Chief Commercial Officer, where he will oversee the commercial operations for airports, airlines and third parties such as security equipment providers, international governments, and airport regulatory institutions.
Richard Camman is known for his expertise in biometrics and seamless passenger journeys. Prior to BagsID, Camman served as Vice President of Business Innovation at Vision-Box, Managing Director of Border and Identity Management for Accenture, and other notable positions.
