Vantage Group has been selected by the Brown County, Wisconsin Board of Supervisors to provide executive leadership and operational management for Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport (GRB) under a new five-year management services agreement. Effective immediately, Vantage will manage GRB’s day-to-day operations and lead its long-term strategy on behalf of Brown County, serving as a strategic partner invested in GRB’s success and continued growth, Vantage Group said.
Vantage’s Nyika Allen announced on LinkedIn that she has taken the role of executive managing director/airport director for GRB.
“For more than 30 years, Vantage has managed airports of every size, from regional airports much like GRB to some of the world’s busiest international gateways,” said Stewart Steeves, chief operating officer of Vantage Group. “At every location, the work starts with partnership: with the county, and with the local team who know the airport best. We’re looking forward to working alongside Brown County and the entire airport community to elevate the guest experience and help write the next chapter for GRB to build a gateway the whole community can be proud of.”
The partnership is aimed at repositioning GRB through experienced airport leadership, operational excellence and a disciplined commercial strategy. Priorities include enhancing the passenger experience, strengthening airline partnerships, and delivering value to travelers, the community and the region in the years ahead.
Troy Streckenbach, Brown County executive, said entering the partnership will “help this airport grow to new heights. Brown County will continue to own GRB, approve its budget and set its direction. What changes is that we now have a management team with the expertise and relationships to deliver on it, and we’re excited to move forward together.”
