Press release from Sheltair: July 25, 2021 Sheltair President, Lisa Holland was listed as one of Tampa Bay's Women To Watch for 2021. Across the Tampa Bay area, ladies are taking charge at companies big and small, including their own. The women featured here have conquered all kinds of industries, from construction, interior design and law to medical aesthetics, dentistry, retail, and now also aviation. This article invites you to learn the stories behind some of the women writing Tampa Bay's next chapter. Sheltair is a family-owned company that enjoys a national reputation for its superior customer focus and service-driven corporate culture. Founded in 1963 by Jerry Holland, father of current Sheltair President Lisa Holland, it is the nation's largest privately-owned aviation network, proudly operating 18 award-winning FBOs and managing over 4.5 million square feet of aviation-related properties across the country. Lisa Holland has always demonstrated a passion for business. As a child, she accompanied her father on jobs and assisted in office projects during her teenage years. Lisa's entrepreneurial spirit led her to start her own businesses as an adult, where she flourished as a successful businesswoman before returning to Sheltair in 2017. Jerry Holland's vision for Sheltair is to ensure the company goes from strength to strength, as a vibrant and successful family-owned business. For this reason, he implemented a transition plan appointing Lisa as President in January 2020. Shortly after her appointment, Lisa was challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic. Lisa embraced her new role and led her employees through the crisis, taking the opportunity of big change to cultivate her team and foster a support system for the people of Sheltair. Against this backdrop, her son, Kai Seymour, joined the company after graduating from the University of Tampa. "This was a proud Sheltair moment which now boasts three-generations of the Holland family. As a mother and President of the company, this is a unique opportunity to show the next generation how passion and integrity can make a powerful difference in the lives of our employees and our corporate reputation." Sheltair recently announced its expansion plans in Tampa International Airport with a new 110,000 square-foot hangar complex, reflecting its commitment to support the economic growth of Hillsborough County. Philanthropy is vital for Lisa, who often organizes events to support non-profit organizations. Amid the pandemic, Lisa launched an annual virtual 5K to benefit local food banks, implemented a paid "Volunteer Time-Off Policy", and encouraged a two-year pledge to help clean Florida's coastlines through "Adopt A Shore." Lisa Holland brings a fresh perspective to the family business while sustaining her father's vision. Growing the company, maintaining its values, and defining excellence across an expanding aviation market are just part of her emerging Sheltair legacy in an era of unprecedented challenges and extraordinary opportunities.
