Lufthansa AG has realigned its executive board structure, effective 1 January 2020.
Karl-Ludwig Kley, chairman of the supervisory board of Deutsche Lufthansa AG, said: “With the new executive board structure that has been decided on today, we are responding to changes in our environment and within the company.
"We are strengthening our customer focus, we are increasing our efforts in digitalisation and we are anchoring responsibility for the environment and society at the executive board level. And we are taking into account the strategic development of Lufthansa from an aviation group to an airline group."
As of 1 January 2020, the executive board will be expanded to include the board-level position - customer & corporate responsibility.
Christina Foerster, CEO Brussels Airlines, has been appointed to the board for this task; her contract has a term of three years. In her new role, Foerster will assume responsibility for product management, the future catering interface and marketing.
Going forward, Harry Hohmeister will be responsible for the coordination of network planning, revenue management, distribution and sales for all of the group’s passenger airlines as head of the commercial passenger airlines division.
Against the background of the great importance of IT, digitalisation and innovation, responsibility for these topics will be bundled in a newly created department IT, digital & innovation in future, to be headed by Thorsten Dirks.
Bettina Volkens, who was previously responsible for HR & legal on the executive board, will leave the company by mutual agreement on 31 December.
