The Charlotte County Airport Authority (CCAA) has appointed Chad Rosenstein chief administrative officer (CAO) of the Punta Gorda Airport (PGD).
In his new role, Chad Rosenstein will work under CEO James W Parish and will have oversight of the finance, IT, property management, procurement and human resources functions.
Rosenstein has more than two decades of experience in the aviation industry. For the last seven years, he has served as Lee County Port Authority’s (LCPA) director of government affairs and grants, implementing strategies to maximise agency funding on capital projects while ensuring compliance with federal and local minority programmes. Rosenstein joined LCPA in 2011. Initially responsible for managing the noise and airspace programme, he oversaw a comprehensive noise study, several community outreach programmes and the implementation of a flight tracking system at Southwest Florida International Airport.
"In addition to his extensive aviation experience, Chad Rosenstein has a wealth of knowledge in state and federal procurement regulations, budgeting and grants processes,” said CEO Parish. “We are excited to have him on board to help PGD continue to grow in the most efficient and effective manner.”
Having joined PGD the week before Hurricane Ian made landfall in Charlotte County, Rosenstein has spent his first weeks with the airport working to keep administrative functions on track while coordinating damage assessments and insurance claims.
Rosenstein serves on the Florida Airports Council (FAC) board of directors as secretary/ treasurer, and as FAC’s co-chair of the state affairs committee.
