In her 20 years at Air New Zealand, Leanne Geraghty has just about seen it all at the airline. Now, she wants to see more of her family back home in Australia.
After two decades with the carrier, Geraghty, Air New Zealand’s Chief Customer and Sales Officer, will be stepping in January 2025.
Leanne joined the airline in 2004, taking on several roles in Australia before moving to New Zealand in 2016.
Throughout her time, she played a major role in launching markets like New York, Houston, Seoul and Buenos Aires as well as leading global sales efforts. She became Chief Customer and Sales Officer in 2020.
Leanne also oversaw brand campaigns, new uniforms and safety videos, playing a key role in enhancing the overall customer experience.
Air New Zealand CEO Greg Foran praised Geraghty’s contribution and said she would be greatly missed.
“Leanne has been an invaluable part of our team, and her contributions have been pivotal in shaping the airline’s success over the past 20 years. She has been an exceptional leader and team member at Air New Zealand,” he remarked.
“Leanne puts our customers, people and partners at the heart of every decision, and we have been incredibly lucky to have her as an ambassador for the airline for such a long time.”
Air New Zealand says the search for her successor is set to begin soon.
