AREAS & HOW WE CAN HELP

AIRPORT
SECURITY

Airport Security is a very complex area within the aviation world presenting significant challenges and regulatory requirements. Aloft has decades of experience within airport security and can help address any challenges you may be facing as they relate to:

  • 49 CFR Part 1542

  • Airport Badging

  • SIDA Training

  • Checkpoint Operations

  • Physical Access Control

  • CCTV Systems

  • Contract Security Oversight

IDENTITY MANAGEMENT

Identity management, or "badging" as most people refer to it, can be a very intimidating process. Aloft has significant subject matter expertise in all processes involved with airport credentialing. We have restructured low functioning airport badging offices and turned them into benchmark operations that have inspired white papers and industry best practices. Let us show you how we can help you and your office staff thrive... instead of just survive.

TSA & REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

Airport security requirements are an ever-changing environment than can be difficult to navigate at times. The regulations contained in 49 CFR Part 1542 are the TSA guidelines that tell airports what they need to maintain compliance with. An airport's Airport Security Program (ASP) explains to TSA how they will do that. This can be a very cumbersome, confusing and intimidating process, but Aloft can help you traverse these processes and requirements with ease. Our expertise with security compliance and fostering some of the best relationships with TSA regulatory personnel are second to none. Let us show you how to work through the detailed process of getting your airport into compliance and how to stay there. We will assist you with implementing systems, measures and procedures that will make your airport safer, more efficient, more secure and keep you within regulatory compliance standards.

EFFICIENCY & ORGANIZATION

Efficiency and organization are the cornerstones of any successful business or professional endeavor. Aloft can help you streamline otherwise chaotic or disjointed processes and procedures. We will review existing workflows and help you take your current operation and make it something special that others, including your competitors, will envy. Let Aloft help you and your business realize your full potential.

 

 

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Quality leadership is an often underappreciated quality these days. Not all bosses are leaders and not all leaders are bosses. Leaders are those within an organization that inspire others to be their best. Leaders help train, nurture, mentor, coach and provide their staff and fellow coworkers with the tools they need to succeed and realize their full potential. Some leaders are just born for the job and others are made and given the time and resources to learn and grow into greatness. Succession planning is also a big part of leadership. Developing the next generation of leaders is so important and often neglected or overlooked within larger organizations. Let Aloft help you evaluate your organizational structure and identify existing personnel as well as those with the potential to become great leaders. The time to develop the next great leader is not at the existing leader's retirement party. Let us help you set your organization up for success. We will help empower and inspire the right people within your ranks to lead and take your business into a brighter and better tomorrow.

WHO IS ALOFT CONSULTING?

As a veteran of the United States Coast Guard, I acquired many valuable skills that serve me to this day. The Coast Guard's core values of Honor, Respect and Devotion to Duty have been a driving force in my life ever since. I joined the TSA shortly after 9/11 and learned additional skills that led me to pursue a career in aviation with an emphasis in management and security.

 

I earned a Master’s degree in Aeronautical Science from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, which helped pave the way to a very rewarding career in aviation at Orlando International Airport. I moved up through the organization, serving in various capacities, gaining valuable insight and expertise in all facets of management, budgeting, project oversight, training, security, leadership, efficiency and organization.

 

My most recent position as Assistant Vice President of Security allowed me to make significant positive changes to the organization that will have a lasting impact for many years to come. I was able to improve efficiency through organizational restructuring and boost employee retention and morale through multiple initiatives designed to empower and enable our employees to reach their full potential. I was also able to  help provide succession planning through the creation of a leadership development program for the next generation of leaders.

GORDON J. CLARK

PRESIDENT

  • LinkedIn

I believe a successful organization relies on a combination of quality leadership and continual investment in its people. Employees need to be supported in their efforts and empowered to make decisions, giving a sense of ownership and allowing them to share in the overall success of an organization. I am a product of quality leadership and employee investment, through training, mentorship and other extraordinary growth opportunities. 

 

With over twenty-four (24) years of progressively responsible leadership and security experience, I felt it was time to expand my ability to affect positive change in the aviation, management and leadership development fields, so I decided to start Aloft Consulting. I feel there is a significant need for the services that my network of industry colleagues and I can provide.

 

I have  relied on my ability to effectively communicate with individuals at all levels and disciplines within an organization to build strong relationships, which allows me to efficiently accomplish any task. I have built an extensive network of industry professionals over the years and those resources, coupled with my subject matter expertise, that spans military, civilian and government organizations, translates to a very successful outcome for my clients.
