(Reuters) -Singapore Airlines said on Monday it appointed insider JoAnn Tan as its first female chief financial officer to replace Tan Kai Ping who will take over as chief operations officer.
JoAnn Tan, in her current role as senior vice president of marketing planning, led the company’s efforts to restore its network connectivity and capacity after international borders reopened since the pandemic, the airlines said.
Meanwhile, CFO Ping is known for helping strengthen the carrier’s financial resilience and his involvement in the proposed merger between Air India and Vistara.
He will now be responsible for Singapore Airlines’ Cabin Crew, Customer Services and Operations, Engineering, and Flight Operations divisions.
