Bradley Tollefson:
Aviation Chose Him
Bradley Tollefson did not choose aviation, aviation chose him. He explains
he has a diverse background in traditional real estate and through a
series of circumstance, he found this very exciting and rewarding career.
Tollefson is passionate about developing and re-imagining the built
environment with a particular focus on projects that have a significant
impact on people's everyday lives. During his nearly seven-year career
at Westfield, he has successfully led numerous projects in large airports
including significant projects at Boston Logan International Airport and
Newark Liberty International Airport as well as major airport devel-
opments including the transformation of the international terminal at
Chicago O'Hare International Airport and the greenfield development of
Los Angeles International Airport's Tom Bradley International Terminal.
He serves as the development lead managing the overall process and di-
recting the finance, design and construction activities. His current efforts
also include culling the global aviation landscape to bring
the best ideas together in Westfield's ongoing ideation
process aimed at pushing the envelope in delivering the
airport experience of the future, today.
