ST JOHN’S, Antigua, July 23, 2009 – Antigua-based regional airline LIAT has started advertising for a new boss, three months after temporarily replacing former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mark Darby.
Brian Challenger is currently in charge of the day-to-day operations of the company. When he was appointed on April 22nd, LIAT’s Board of Directors said he would remain there until a new boss was identified and put in place.
In a newspaper ad published yesterday, LIAT said it was looking to hire a CEO on a three-year contract.
That person’s role will be to “implement the strategic goals and objectives of the Board of Directors of LIAT for leadership, management and administration of the company”.
The closing date for applications will be August 15th.
LIAT’s search for a CEO began after the Board fired Darby on April 21st, over his payment of merit awards to some of the airline’s employees without approval
