For those that have not read the entire thread, we have had confirmation that the IAG Group Head of IT is not an IT person, this from Caribbean Boy:
Alex Cruz has nobody responsible for IT reporting to him. All of BA's IT was moved to its owner IAG, the person in charge is Bill Francis, Head of Group IT. Francis reports to Ignacio de Torres Zabala, Director of Global Services, who in turn reports to Willie Walsh, Chief Executive of IAG.
Walsh has amongst his direct reports Cruz and Zabala, but not Francis. It may be relevant that Francis is not an IT man - he is perhaps best known for being in charge of cabin crew.
Therefore, IT (on which the entire IAG rests) are not represented at Board level.
Will be glad to be corrected that an international group, utterly reliant on IT for every single action, has understood the importance of IT.
