Guled Hussein

It gives me great pleasure to recognize and appreciate an outstanding member of our ASP team at Pearson International Airport – Guled Hussein. Guled exemplifies an “over and above” attitude, consistently going the extra mile to ensure team success. His proactive approach and willingness to take on additional responsibilities have been instrumental in achieving our operational goals at Pearson Airport, earning well-deserved appreciation from everyone.

On January 20, 2017, Guled Hussein embarked on his journey with ASP in a part-time role as an Airside Gate Break Reliever. His unrelenting hard work, helpful nature, and positive attitude quickly earned him tremendous respect and admiration from supervisors at airside and in the terminal, as well as from the ASP management team at the airport. During this period, he gained valuable experience in various locations at the airport, including Airside Gates, NPSV, the Terminal, and various ad-hoc assignments.

On January 24, 2022, Guled transitioned to a full-time access control guard at the airside gates. His positive attitude, hard work, and willingness to help earned him numerous accolades from everyone at Pearson Airport. On July 4, 2024, he became a certified AVOP holder, bringing him closer to achieving greater heights. On July 24, he earned a well-deserved promotion to Lead Security Guard and was entrusted with the challenging role of leading and managing airside operations as an Airside Supervisor.

Guled demonstrated great temperament and adapted well to his leadership role during a time when airside operations were extremely challenging due to Airside Restoration Construction Capital Projects. His understanding and experience of airside operations, combined with his calm demeanor and presence of mind in challenging situations, made him stand out. Guled is a true team player, always ready to support his colleagues and foster a collaborative environment. His positive attitude and dedication combined with unwavering loyalty and commitment made him a role model within our organization. We are proud to have Guled Hussein as part of the ASP team and wish him continued success in achieving greater heights.
