“Josh is a passionate, influential, experienced strategist and leader. He is an out-of the box thinker and always going above and beyond the ask, finding innovative solutions and recommendations to bring to the table. He's always one step ahead of the latest digital trends. I was lucky enough to have Josh as my manager for a year and a half, and truly enjoyed our time working together. He was an exceptional manager and mentor who is empathetic and compassionate, instilling confidence and positive energy in everyone on his team. He always keeps the best interest of his team and ensures everyone has the tools they need to succeed. Josh is a great coach and knows how to empower you to do your best work while providing space for autonomy. He advocates for you and I appreciated that he was always looking to identify opportunities to help me reach my goals. I highly recommend Josh and am so glad to have worked with him.”

In an effort to make long customer lines a thing of the past and give its employees the freedom to do their jobs on the go, United Airlines equipped its customer service agents with mobile handheld devices. United is the only airline with mobile devices that are both cellular and Wi-Fi enabled, giving its employees the advantage of being able to accommodate customers even during network outages that ground its competitors. United's Mobile Agent Platform (MAP) devices are used by its customer service agents to assist customers in the airport. The MAP devices are loaded with dozens of applications to bring United's agents out from behind their desks and allow them to work where the customers are, doing things such as closing out flights, changing seat assignments, re-booking passengers on other flights and other airlines and printing luggage tags at the gate. Transactions times for such tasks as customer rebooking during irregular operations have been reduced from 10 minutes to 2 minutes per passenger.
