Travis Roderick Named CEO of Air Ambulance Worldwide
Mark Jones Transitions into Role as Vice-Chairman of Board of Directors
CLEARWATER, Fla., Sept. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Air Ambulance Worldwide is pleased to announce that longtime healthcare executive Travis Roderick has been named its new Chief Executive Officer. He assumes the role from Mark Jones, who has transitioned to the role of Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors. Roderick joined Air Ambulance Worldwide in January of 2019 and has an extended history of building and managing hospitals and a proven track record of successfully managing medical organizations to ensure top clinical quality and customer satisfaction. He is especially skilled in providing strong strategic and tactical leadership and solving complex business challenges.
"I am grateful to have the opportunity to join a great company with tremendous caregivers and continue to grow and prosper the legacy of Air Ambulance Worldwide," Roderick said. "We are committed to building upon the reputation that Mark has built for exceeding industry standards in aviation safety, clinical superiority, world-class service and absolute value. This is a great company with devoted people and a tremendous future, and I am proud to be a part of it."
Air Ambulance Worldwide was founded in 2004 by Jones, who is an aviation enthusiast, pilot and businessman who had previously worked in the air ambulance industry. His focus created the foundation of the AAW mission statement and sculpted how to safely transfer critically ill patients while controlling cost. In 15 years, Jones grew the business from a privately owned corporation to an equity-backed business that included two bases, six jets and more than 130 staff.
"The transfer of company responsibility is never an easy task, but building a world-class company takes commitment, dedication and tenacity," Jones said. "While searching for that 'right person,' who would exude these characteristics and be able to lead AAW into the next phase of our growth, it became obvious that Travis was the right choice. Travis is fortunate to have an impressive management team behind him and he is the right person to lead them."
