Spicejet has a new CEO
Sanjay Aggarwal is new CEO of SpiceJet
BS Reporter / New Delhi October 20, 2008, 12:33 IST
SpiceJet today announced the appointment of Sanjay Aggarwal, as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) with immediate effect. Aggarwal takes over the position from Siddhanth Sharma. Prior to his current responsibilities in SpiceJet Aggarwal held the position of Chief Operating Officer and Chief Strategy Officer for Flight Options.
Previously Aggarwal had worked as senior director of Marriott International and had also been Manager of Financial Planning for the maintenance, reservations and internal consulting areas of US Airways.
Commenting on his appointment, Sanjay Aggarwal said, "I believe that SpiceJet is well positioned to grow rapidly as a low cost carrier, and I am delighted to have the opportunity to help the company achieve its potential."
Wilbur Ross, who led the recent $100 million cash infusion program into SpiceJet, added, "Of the many candidates, Sanjay was by far the most impressive. He is precisely the right person to lead the existing highly capable management team in turning SpiceJet around."

i read navrekars post some time back which says because spice jet has Expat CEO so its easy working.
if expat CEO is out it points in the south direction.
now spicejet has stopped taking Expats( as navrekaer posts indicates)
so they have got in Indian CEO.and Expat ceo is out....................
Expat CEO wont know indian Aviation+ geography+ profitable route and customer.
where as Indian CEO will be more in line with the ground realities.
other wise why a company removes some one who understands the company and who can do some thing when time is bad.
same CEO is needed more than ever when the time is bad.
Generaly in India Expat head is taken to project his/her face/Image and make fool of the public.

First off the name is Nevrekar not Navrekar. Spicejet did not have an expat CEO. Sid Sharma was the CEO, hardly an expat. He left to join Indigo airlines in another management capacity. Our Chief Pilot Jack Ekl was an expat. I think I would be truthful in saying that he was well liked by the majority of the pilot group, Indians and expats alike. Expats liked dealing with him and he was the reason many expats came to India and to Spicejet in particular. Capt Dhillon the EVP of Flight Ops also has a very good rapport with expat pilots as well. The new CEO is an Indian but has been working overseas for other companies, most recently Flightoptions, a fractional ownership outfit in the USA. He was educated in India and the USA.

Why the change in leadership?
Just adding to Navrekar's - ooops - Nevrekar's post ...
I don't speak for Jack, but he has been here for over three years and I think was just ready for something new. By all accounts management (and rank-and-file) are sorry to see him go.
Sharma left about the time Wilbur Ross appeared. I'm not privy to the reason for that change - we can speculate all day.
It's still a very nice place to work. If the transport is late occasionally, it's because of traffic - not because I've been "de-rostered".

Nevrekar not Navrekar
how does it make any diffrence...
if your post says Expat CEO...hence its good place .....
when ceo is removed you will have to take care of the Pilots you got in by what you said in your post.
some times when expat head is removed it gives indication for the rest.
take care
spice jet is good no two ways
but depands what yard stick is used to measure the levels.

If you can find the post where I said that Spicejet had an expat CEO please do post it. I don't recall doing it. I can't possible mention one if there hasn't been one here since my joining. But if you insist on your "own reality" then by all means knock yourself out. Apparently many here in India are doing just that, considering the state of the industry!
On the subject of names: If someone asked you what the official animal of India was: Correct answer is Tiger. Would you say Lion? And then say what's the difference, they are both animals? (Janvar hi toh hai!).

dear nav,
tiger and lion both are king of jungle.
sitting at spice jet ,holding recruitment depatment you must be feeling great for last few years
one day wearing tiger jacket,second day using lion jacket.
i can understand how the position of recruitment head can make some one feel like king.
i hope spice jet is not a jungle.
may be Wilber Ross will know sooner or later......hope he will be able to find his way.......hope not very late.
in jungle people can looose their way .....or get robbed of their belongings
& money.
i sugest you one book go and read....the bue jackal
(neele gidar ki kahani)
US Air Force is brown uniform.

If you google it you can find lots of different answers.
Generally we use it to describe something " not quite from this world"
As many of us seem to have a "little" difficulty understanding some of your posts I just thought you should consider it.
