Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport has added a new director of concessions.

Paul Brown will lead the new food and beverage program, terminal concessions, advertising and car rental agreements, according to a release from the airport.

Brown comes to the airport from Minute Suites, where he was a consultant helping the company identify potential airport locations. He wrote successful proposals for airports in Miami, Raleigh-Durham and Sacramento.

He has also dealt with concessions at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, WHSmith USA Travel and Airport Retail Management. There, he developed and managed concessions at O’Hare and Midway airports in Chicago.

Arnaldo Ruiz, assistant general manager of commercial development, said in a statement that Brown will help reinvent the airport's food and beverage offerings.
