Earlier this year Karre Gorrell, Director of Government Sales, celebrated her 19th year with Cavalier. She has outlasted President Reagan, President Clinton and two different President Bush administrations.

When Karre came on board with Cavalier, the Government Services Division was merely a concept. With extreme focus and dedication to the task, Karre has been instrumental in creating and developing a hugely successful global support unit for government services.“It has been a wild ride but an incredibly fulfilling one. When we started entertaining the idea of this Division we had no idea it would be such a massive and diverse entity but the most eye opening part has been that it is such a moving target. We constantly have to adapt to new challenges in legislation and security not to mention the constantly shifting political geography throughout the globe.”

“We could not be happier with the performance of our Government Division” says President Tim Holdaway “We were always confident of success but the pivotal moment came with the hiring of Mike Ball as Director of Government Operations.When Mike joined the team it was huge leap forward for the division. He immediately added the experience and finesse required to make Cavalier not just a player in this market but a clear leader.”

Mike Ball is the mission guy. If there is a challenge to be met he is always front and center. As he says “One of the things that makes my role so exciting is the diversity of the challenges but whether it is containers to Uzbekistan, charters to Baghdad or secure trucks to Washington DC there are a multitude of i’s to be dotted and t’s to be crossed and that is where the experience and the missions success really counts.”

With Mike and Karre as the leaders of our government team, our customers know they are working with the best in the business.
