Etihad Aviation Group has announced that Ray Gammell will take over as interim CEO of the airline company.
Gammell, who was previously the group’s chief people and performance officer, takes over full management responsibilities from today (May 8) as current CEO James Hogan prepares to leave the company on July 1.
Mohamed Mubarak Fadhel Al Mazrouei, chairman of Etihad Aviation Group’s board, said: “Ray will now take full management responsibility for the Etihad Aviation Group, ensure a coordinated group approach, and continue to advance the strategic review that was initiated by the board in 2016 to reposition the business for continued development in what we anticipate being a prolonged period of challenges for global aviation.”
Gammell, who first joined Etihad in 2009, previously worked for the Intel Corporation and Royal Bank of Scotland, as well as being an officer in the Irish Armed Forces.
