Berger has accepted the newly created position of Chief Strategy
Officer, responsible for the analysis and development of new
ventures consistent with ATSG’s global business strategy. Berger
joined ATSG as CCO in February 2018. ATSG has had a strong focus on
growing its business globally in recent years, and Berger’s new
role will allow for further concentration in key development
areas.
Corrado said that “Mike’s performance and strong orientation
toward developing new strategic revenue and geographic platforms
for ATSG has accelerated our growth and diversified our customer
base. This new position will allow him to support current strategic
efforts, evaluate emerging trends, and recommend how best to apply
ATSG’s capabilities and strong service culture for leading roles in
new, complementary markets.”

largest regional cargo airline, which utilizes over 170 turboprop
aircraft primarily in support of UPS, DHL and FedEx, with over
65,000 departures annually to over 200 destinations. He previously
served from 2016 to 2018 in Amazon’s launch team for Amazon

During nearly a decade at Southern Air Inc., Chase rose to Chief
Operating Officer after serving in a number of operational and
global account-management roles, including responsibility for
Southern’s contract with the Department of Defense’s Air Mobility
Command. He is a U.S. Navy veteran and a graduate of Charter Oak
State College in Connecticut. He also holds an MBA degree in
aerospace and defense from the University of Tennessee.
Berger held many senior leadership roles during his combined
