Airline Ratings
Virgin Australia has lured some high-profile executives to form a team that boss Jane Hrdlicka says will be hard to beat and will make the airline Australia’s most loved.
Leading the pack is David Marr, Woolworth’s chief operating officer, who joins Virgin Australia as its chief financial officer next month.
Mr Marr has spent the last nine years with Woolworths including six years as its CFO before being appointed COO in August 2019.
Prior to Woolworths, Mr Marr held senior executive roles at Tesco in the UK, API and the Foster’s Group.
Yesterday Mr Marr said he is “excited to be joining Virgin Australia and being part of the turnaround of one of Australia’s great brands.”
