My money would be on Vanessa Hudson as the next CEO, OW has always been in marketing,
PR, loyalty roles and would unlikely have the financial experience yet to be CEO. If the board were looking at their CV’s side by side, VH wins hands down and it is the board that selects the next CEO, not AJ.
VH has been getting increasing media attention and recently did the investor world tour with AJ. She is responsible for a pretty good fuel hedging strategy and has reduced Covid induced debt by $1.5b, all impressive stuff for the board to look at.
