Deidre DavidsSenior Manager Corporate Affairs at Cape town International Airport

Leading the Corporate Affairs portfolio for Africa’s most award-winning airport and the gateway to the beautiful Mother City, Cape Town, requires passion and tenacity.

A highlight during her tenure has been being part of the start-up team developing the transition plan for ACSA’s concession at the Guarulhos International Airport in Brazil (South America’s largest airport). A project of immense significance not only for ACSA, but for South Africa.

She was one of a select few nominated to participate on the Henley International Business School’s Executive Development Programme as a learning experience. She was then nominated as the team representative to represent the business through a business presentation internationally in Dubai and Germany.

Another career highlight has been leading all communication and marketing elements relating to the large-scale infrastructure upgrade at Cape Town International Airport ahead of the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup.
