Lisa Holland, president of Sheltair, has announced the appointment of Todd Anderson as the company’s chief operating officer. A seasoned 20-year veteran of the company, Anderson previously served as senior vice president of real estate and development. He will now oversee the day to day operations at Sheltair while continuing to lead the company’s development programs.
“I cannot think of a better person to be at the helm, helping us meet today’s challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities,” Holland said. “As a hands-on leader, Todd’s directive is to create a more efficient organization focused on the development of the Sheltair customer experience through innovation while fostering a collaborative corporate culture that inspires our employees to be the best”.
Anderson began working with Sheltair two decades ago when the company operated at four airports with just two FBO locations. Under the direction of Jerry Holland, Sheltair’s founder and CEO, he was tasked with growing the company’s footprint, resulting in a network of aviation-related properties now found in 24 airports, including 18 award-winning FBOs, and over 4 million square feet of real estate.
Jerry Holland stated, “Todd is rightfully respected throughout our industry as a leader and aviation professional characterized by his strategic thinking and tactical actions. He possesses the vision to set course into the future without losing focus of the smallest details. Todd is the right person at the right time to assume the role of Chief Operating Officer at Sheltair.”
“I have been honored to work with Sheltair over the last 20 years,” Anderson said. “It is a privilege to now have the opportunity to lead a great team of aviation professionals who soar above and beyond on a daily basis to provide an industry-leading customer experience. I look forward to assisting my colleagues in the months and years to come, as we continue our mission of inspiring innovation and delivering uncompromising safety and service to the business and general aviation community.”
A graduate of Embry Riddle Aeronautical University with a Bachelor of Aviation Business Administration and a Master of Public Administration of the University of Central Florida, Anderson has more than 38 years of aviation experience. He is also an Accredited Airport Executive through the American Association of Airport Executives since 1999 and has been an active corporate member with the Florida Airports Council since 1989.
