Meridian Names Carlos Rodriguez Hayward General Manager

Meridian announced that Carlos Rodriguez has been named general manager of Meridian Hayward. Rodriguez had been serving as operations manager at the same location. In his new role, he will be responsible for overseeing and managing the daily operations of the facility, developing the customer base by communicating the intrinsic value of Hayward Executive Airport in the Bay Area, and assuring the service experience reflects Meridian’s high-quality standards. Rodriguez  will be managing a staff of 18 employees.

Rodriguez began his career with Meridian in 2002 when the company was part of the Million Air franchise. Through hard work and determination, Rodriguez moved up through the ranks and became the company’s first Training & Safety Coordinator in February of 2013. In 2015, when Meridian decided to expand westward to Hayward, Calif., a motivated leader was needed to head up operations and get things off the ground. Carlos had excelled in his role as a Training & Safety Coordinator at Meridian Teterboro and he had an interest in moving West, so it was a natural step to promote him to Operations Manager at Hayward.
