Things are beginning to change over at helloworld, with the first senior departure announced since the arrival of the travel group’s new boss, Andrew Burnes.
Jenny Macdonald, helloworld Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary, will be leaving the business at the end of April after submitting her resignation last week.
Macdonald will stay on for the next two months to oversee the implementation of helloworld’s recently approved merger with AOT Group Limited.
In a statement, the outgoing Financial leader said she’s enjoyed her time as CFO and found the role to be “immensely rewarding”.
“It has been immensely rewarding from the onset and more recently working closely with Andrew Burnes, Chief Executive Officer, and the AOT transition team to ensure a smooth transition.”

“It has been a delight to work with Jenny over the past few months through the transition period.”
