About Jaron Roux

Retired USAF Colonel. USAFA Class of FedEx First Officer. Chief of Staff, Spitfire Elite Consulting. Founder, ShoutOut Solutions LLC. Deacon. Husband. Father. Servant leader.I\'ve led at altitude — from squadron command to the flight deck of a 767, from the Pentagon to the podium. After 20+ years of service and a commercial aviation career with FedEx, I\'m building what\'s next — not winding down.At Spitfire Elite, I serve as Chief of Staff for a consulting firm that prepares pilots — especially women, minorities, and military-to-airline transitioners — to compete and win in the most selective hiring environments in aviation. What we teach isn\'t a script. It\'s strategy. Experience gets you to the interview. Authenticity, Culture Fit, and Empathy.elite preparation to get you the offer.Through ShoutOut Solutions LLC, I bring that same leadership framework to organizations, government agencies, and community institutions across Tennessee and beyond. My focus: professional development, executive coaching, aviation education, and leadership consulting for leaders who are serious about building capacity — not checking a box. As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, we\'re built to serve the public sector and the communities that public institutions are accountable to.I also serve as Chairperson of the USAFA Way of Life Alumni Affinity Group, where I\'m leading a coalition effort to complete the Tuskegee Airmen Memorial at Davis Airfield — a full-scale P-51 Mustang, Boeing T-7A Red Hawk, and Double V Pavilion that will stand as a permanent tribute to the men who broke barriers in American military aviation. This isn\'t just a monument. It\'s a mission.Life has tested me. Faith has carried me. And I\'m still flying — literally and figuratively. The altitude may have changed. The standard hasn\'t. Mission: Lead with love. Execute with excellence. Create opportunity. Build leaders. Leave every cockpit, organization, and community better than I found it. If you\'re a pilot preparing for your next interview, an organization ready to build stronger leaders, or a partner aligned with legacy and service — I want to hear from you. Let\'s connect and do meaningful work.
