Shannetta Griffin, PE, Chief Commercial Officer, Columbus Regional Airport Authority, Columbus, OH
Shannetta has more than 30 years of transportation industry experience in planning, designing, constructing, managing budgets and coordinating with stakeholders on various projects, including multiple transportation facilities with an emphasis on aviation. As Chief Commercial Officer of the Columbus Regional Airport Authority – which operates passenger-focused John Glenn International, cargo-focused Rickenbacker International and general aviation airport Bolton Field – Shannetta oversees total revenue generation, including passenger and air cargo development, airline and tenant affairs, concessions management, parking and ground transportation, real estate and the country’s seventh largest foreign-trade zone.
When first arriving at the Columbus Regional Airport Authority in 2017, Shannetta drove capital planning, development and business diversity as Chief Development Officer. Many of the diversity success stories she led resulted in the organization receiving the 2019 Inclusion Champion Award from Airports Council International-North America.
