Steve Sisneros, a former airline executive and founder of Las Vegas-based Sisneros Advisors, has joined Paslay Group as an executive adviser, where he will support the firm’s airport clients and stakeholders in delivering successful capital programs, improving stakeholder alignment, and advancing business consulting initiatives.
Sisneros brings more than 30 years of aviation leadership experience to the role. Most recently, he served as vice president of airport affairs for Southwest Airlines, where he developed collaborative relationships across the aviation industry and earned a reputation as a trusted partner in navigating the complexities of airport development.
“Steve’s vision aligns with the vision of Paslay Group, where we believe in the power of people coming together to solve challenging issues,” said R. Clay Paslay, the firm’s President and CEO, in a press release. “His background gives him a unique and highly informed perspective, particularly in representing the airline viewpoint through the capital development process — insight that will further strengthen Paslay Group’s ability to support our partners.”
Founded in 2006, Paslay Group provides Executive Program Management® and enterprise-level business advisory strategies for complex capital development programs. The firm has delivered services for airport projects valued at $24.1 billion, with an additional $16.2 billion in projects currently under development.
The proprietary EPM model provides airport owners with a small team of experienced airport leaders who expand executive capacity to plan, implement, and deliver infrastructure improvements.
Paslay Group also supports airport owners in optimizing operations and revenue through services related to concessions, rental car centers, organizational assessments, and other initiatives.
“I have had long business relationships with Paslay Group executives and team members. Their approach and integrity when working with airports and airline stakeholders made it an easy choice for me to join their team,” Sisneros said. “My experience within the aviation industry provides a foundation that now allows me to bring new perspectives and understanding to the firm.”
During his career at Southwest Airlines, Sisneros served in a variety of progressively responsible roles. He earned an undergraduate degree in aeronautics and aviation science from Saint Louis University in Missouri and an MBA with a concentration in International Business from the Chaifetz School of Business at SLU.
