Early Career

Having started flying at 16, Allen found early success flying for the airlines in his early twenties. Entrepreneurial by nature, he eventually evolved into managerial positions with growing airlines and was directly involved with certification, recertification and development of several FAA Part 121 air carriers.

Entrepreneurial Success

Allen eventually used his knowledge and vast network to start a very successful aviation business that caters to the aircraft lease and finance industry. Started over 20 years ago as Avia Crew Leasing: through growth and merger, eventually became Nomadic Aviation Group, one of the world’s foremost “asset transport” companies.

Investment

In addition to his aviation business interests, Allen is a prolific startup level investor with board and advisory level involvement in a variety of industries. He has most recently leveraged his expertise as a cofounder and volunteer for Humanitarian Lift Project, a non-profit that provides airlift into natural disaster areas.
