The Port of Seattle has hired Jeffrey Brown as its new Director of Aviation Facilities and Capital Programs. Brown will be responsible for leading the long-term capital development program at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. For the last two years, Brown has held positions at the Houston Airport System in the Project Management Office and most recently as Chief Infrastructure Officer.
“With the number of mega-projects coming online here at Sea-Tac, Jeffrey’s knowledge and experience will be crucial to our success”, said Lance Lyttle, Managing Director of Aviation.
Brown (pictured) holds a master’s degree in construction management from Columbia University and a master’s degree in business administration from City University of New York – Baruch College. He is a licensed professional engineer and certified project management professional. Prior to his time in the Houston Airport System, Brown worked for KBR as the Director of Engineering. He also oversaw capital improvement projects at JFK International and LaGuardia Airports in New York City.
“Jeffrey represents the importance of our talent development initiatives in attracting the best and brightest,” said CEO Ted Fick. “We looked worldwide and found someone whose ideas and experience will ensure our airport will continue to support our regional economy.”
