LEADERSHIP TEAM
Alvin Brown
President
From humble beginnings in Brooklyn, New York, Alvin Brown dreamed of a career in aviation. As a child, he studied the airplanes taking off and landing at JFK International, memorizing aircraft types, airline emblems and take-off and departure times.
After graduating with a degree in Aviation Management from prestigious Embry-Riddle University – the nation’s premier aviation institute – he began his own upward climb through the airline industry. In a series of career-expanding moves, Alvin learned every aspect of airline and airport management. By 1997, Alvin had attained a senior position with AMR, parent company of American Airlines, at DFW International Airport, where he developed the company’s distinctive WOW leadership and management program.
Along the way, he earned a master’s degree in Human Resources Management from New York Institute of Technology, an MBA from Letourneau University and a doctoral degree in Urban Affairs and Public Administration from the University of Texas at Arlington.
Alvin Brown comes to GTMS with an unparalleled background in airline services, business management and team-building skills. As the visionary force behind today’s GTMS, Alvin sees an outstanding opportunity to help airline partners create the kind of worldwide passenger lounge experience that airlines need to maintain a competitive advantage in today’s fast-growing industry.
