Qantas announced two key changes to its Group leadership team. Current Chief Financial Officer, Tino La Spina, will move to become Chief Executive Officer of Qantas International. This follows the recent resignation of previous CEO, Alison Webster.

Vanessa Hudson, who is currently the Group's Chief Customer Officer, will move to the role of Chief Financial Officer. These changes will take effect from 1 October 2019, allowing Mr. La Spina to close out the current fiscal year through to annual reporting. From mid-May, Ms Hudson will be CFO Designate and will work closely with Mr. La Spina to ensure a smooth handover.

Narendra Kumar will remain Acting Qantas International CEO while the CFO transition is completed. A process to appoint a replacement Chief Customer Officer will start shortly. All three roles will continue to report to Qantas Group CEO, Alan Joyce.
