Chief People Officer

Air New Zealand has come up with a new title, Chief People Officer Lorraine Murphy, taking on this task from 4 March.  Ms Murphy is currently based in the United States where she was most recently Vice President Human Resources – International for Campbell Soup Company, which has more than 20,000 employees globally and sales in excess of US$8bn annually.  Her role provided leadership across key geographic regions, such as Asia Pacific, Europe and Latin America.

Air New Zealand’s recently appointed CEO, Christopher Luxon, says that Ms Murphy was selected after an extensive global search to find a Chief People Officer who could work with his senior leadership team to enhance the world class capabilities and culture within the award-winning airline.

“People are Air New Zealand’s greatest asset and Lorraine has proven through her extensive international career the ability to work with senior managers to deliver world class performance cultures and build winning teams.  Her exposure to operating in markets of critical importance to Air New Zealand’s future, especially in Asia and the Pacific, will add significant strength to our airline in this next exciting phase”, Mr Luxon says. www.airnewzealand.com
