Holland was praised for how she led Sheltair through the COVID-19 pandemic, turning challenges into opportunities by cultivating her team and nurturing a support system for her employees. The organization also spoke to how Holland values professional development, evolution and growth, looking to others for inspiration.

“I have met many exceptional business leaders over the past few years who gave me advice and helped me develop,” said Holland. “I have also had the opportunity to work with an executive coach early in my career, making me uncomfortable and working hard at doing things I did not want to do. I continue to grow as a leader by remaining curious and open to constructive criticism.”

In January 2020, Holland succeeded her father, Jerry Holland, as president of Sheltair Aviation—the nation’s largest privately-owned aviation network, proudly operating award-winning FBOs and managing more than 4.5 million square feet of aviation-related properties. In her leadership role, Holland brings a fresh perspective to the family business while sustaining her father’s vision. Growing the company, maintaining its values, and defining excellence across an expanding aviation market in an era of unprecedented challenges and extraordinary opportunities are all part of Holland’s emerging Sheltair legacy.
