Aircraft lessor and operator ATSG has made three senior management appointments.
Mike Hough has joined the company as group president of airlines and services, Tim Schulze has joined the company as chief risk and corporate development officer, and Doug Belding has joined as vice president, enterprise performance and operating systems.
Hough will oversee ATSG’s airline operating companies and aviation services businesses as a single integrated operating group with overall accountability for all aspects of their collective performance, including profitable growth.
He joins from GAT Airline Ground Support, where he served as chief executive.
Schulze will spearhead ATSG’s efforts to evaluate and build new business opportunities across the enterprise while driving enterprise risk management, capital allocation discipline, insurance and risk financing optimisation, M&A and strategic development support, and governance and enterprise standards.
Schulze has been serving as an external advisor to ATSG since January.
Belding will drive improvements in enterprise systems, processes, and management disciplines that “enable operating leaders to manage performance with greater clarity, consistency, and accountability”.
Belding joins ATSG from FedEx, where he held leadership roles focused on business transformation and operational excellence over the past 11 years.
“We are extremely pleased to have leaders of the calibre of Mike, Tim, and Doug joining ATSG,” said ATSG president and chief executive Greg Mays.
“Mike’s proven track record in driving operational discipline, delivering financial performance, and building commercial enterprises; Tim’s depth of experience and keen strategic perspective; and Doug’s expertise in transformation and operational excellence are exactly what ATSG needs as we continue to execute our long-term growth strategy.”
