Felsher Leaves Aimia after Just Three Months

Nathaniel Felsher, President and Chief Strategy Officer of loyalty analytics company Aimia, has left the business after less than three months. No reason for his departure has been given.

The firm has around 2,300 employees across fifteen countries, and offers expertise in launching and managing loyalty programs, helping clients generate, collect and analyze customer data through various programs. Its business include Aeroplan in Canada and Air Miles Middle East, and the company also owns stakes in loyalty programs such as Club Premier in Mexico and Think Big, a partnership with Air Asia and Tune Group. In February, Aimia sold its Nectar loyalty program and related assets to supermarket giant J Sainsbury plc for approximately $105m; then earlier this month it agreed to sell its Aeroplan business to a consortium led by the business's original owner, Air Canada, for $450m.

Felsher (pictured) joined in August after more than eleven years at Deutsche Bank, where he latterly served as Global Co-Head of Aviation - Corporate & Investment Banking. In this role, he advised clients in the airline, aircraft leasing, loyalty, travel technology and transportation infrastructure sectors on strategy, equity and debt placements, and M&A. Prior to this, he held investment banking positions at HSBC and JP Morgan Chase & Co.

At Aimia, Felsher was responsibility for shaping, implementing and communicating strategy as well as managing the company's global investments. In a statement, the company said it wishes to acknowledge Felsher's contributions during this 'pivotal period' and wished him well in his future endeavours.
