Senior management changes at ATSG

Freighter operator Air Transport Services Group (ATSG) has announced a series of senior management changes.

The changes will see Joe Hete, who currently serves as chairman of the board of directors and chief executive, appointed executive chairman.

Mike Berger, who currently serves as president, will become chief executive and a member of the company’s board; and Jeffrey Dominick, who currently serves as a member of the board of directors, has been appointed president.

Hete stepped back in as chief executive last year to replace Rich Corrado after retiring from the role in 2020 following a 17-year stint.

Randy Rademacher, lead independent director, said: “Last year we were fortunate to have Joe step back into the chief executive role at an important time for ATSG, and we are pleased he will continue to play a key role in guiding the company forward as executive chairman.

“We are also excited to appoint Mike as the company’s next chief executive. He has been an integral member of our management team since 2018, and he has helped to shape the company’s long-term strategic plan.

“Additionally, we are delighted to welcome Jeff to the company’s leadership team. Having served on our Board for over seven years, Jeff brings his vast experience in our business and competitive position to his new role as president.”
