Matthew Cox

Good day to you.

I have a diverse 33 years of experience - executive leadership, management, ownership, directorship, safety, quality, training & standards, emergency response, logistics, and piloting. This blended experience gives me a multi-perspective that allows me to identify root issues, and then deliver effective solutions and mitigations.

With high-value portfolio, C-Suite experience, I have performed the roles of President, Chief Executive Officer, and Vice President. Extensive managerial experience has been performed in the roles: Aviation Manager Canada, Chief Pilot of the Americas, Deputy Chief Pilot Rotterdam, Deputy Chief Pilot Houston, Senior Training & Standards Pilot, Quality Assurance Manager, Flight Data Manager, and Director of Safety & Emergency Response.

Previously held positions have included charter airline owner, airline chief pilot, air ambulance chief pilot, and I have served on boards representing transportation. I have an extensive background in emergency response which I leveraged at Shell as the Air Operations Supervisor on the National Response Team & Shell Americas Response Team. During the Fort McMurray fires, I orchestrated the mass evacuation airlift from Albian Sands.

As a leader in logistics and transportation, I worked internationally for Royal Dutch Shell managing global flight operations and flying Shell's CEO, Board of Directors, and Executive Committee globally. Within North America I was accountable for the management, control, improvement and Q-HSSE delivery of their Heavy Oil air operations, inclusive of Shell air carriers and Shell aerodromes.

As a pilot, I have crossed all major oceans, conducted numerous global circumnavigations, including two polar routings, and have flown into challenging regions such as Russia, Asia, Middle East (including Iraq), Africa (including Nigeria), and South America.

As a promoter of transportation, I volunteered with the Royal Canadian Air Cadets as the 952 Squadron Chief Pilot. As a humanitarian, I was the conceptualizer and one of the original founders of the Southern Medic Air Society which has raised millions for improved patient care during fixed-wing, air ambulance operations and publicly fund-raised for a medevac helicopter. During the pandemic, I was instrumental in launching Mobile Vaccination Clinics in Alberta.

During the forest fires and then floods of British Columbia, I mobilized all seven companies in concert to provide mass evacuations, response, and eventual repatriation to communities.

As demonstrated at all levels of the transportation industry, I am a team leader who aligns and harmonizes group efforts and delivers top notch team performance. It is with enthusiasm that I hope to share these talents with you. Thank you.

Sincerely, Matthew Cox
