Operations and security leader overseeing airline ground handling, compliance, and teams—driving safety, efficiency, and hospitality excellence.
What I'm looking for
I’m an operations leader and Head of Security with 15+ years across ground handling, administration, security, hospitality, and tourism. As Administrator & Head of Security at Platinum BVI Services, I oversee admin/security for airline ground handling across multiple carriers and manage 100+ staff in ramp operations and compliance.
I’m relentless about measurable results—reducing turnover 25% through hiring and training programs, ensuring zero safety incidents through logistics coordination, and training Caribbean Airlines staff on safety, ramp procedures, and compliance protocols. Before that, I led ground operations at ROMASCO Group, improving on-time performance by 20%, and I’ve brought operational excellence from high-volume kitchen leadership to founding/operating The Pizza Guy.
