According to Wikipedia, and to add some vuel to the fire:

On September 24, 2007 Cassani became the new chairman of the board at Vueling Airlines, replacing Jose Miguel Abab Silvestre, who resigned abruptly citing "managerial differences." Vueling is a three year old airline based in Barcelona, Spain, whose share value in the stock market had dropped by 30% earlier in 2007. Board members Jose Creuheras Margenat and Ferran Conti Penina also resigned.[6]

Barbara Cassani was appointed Executive Chairperson of Jurys Inn hotels in 2008.
Insofar as Vueling Airlines is concerned (slightly confusingly?!):

In June 2008, Vueling and Clickair announced their intention to merge.[4] In January 2009, Iberia a minority shareholder in Clickair announced it would take over the merged airline and gradually integrate the airline into the Iberia Airlines identity.[5]

In mid-July of 2009 the merger of Vueling and Clickair was completed.[6] The new merged airline operates under the Vueling brand. It has become Spain's second largest carrier flying more than 10 million passengers a year to almost 50 destinations.
Maybe (or maybe not) she will have completed her stint in Spain in the near future?
