US Airways (NYSE: LCC) today announced it has filled two open positions
among its leadership team. The company named Keith A. Bush to the
position of vice president, financial planning and analysis, and
promoted Todd L. Christy to vice president, business technology. Both
officer appointments were approved last week by the Company’s Board of
Directors.
Bush, 39, will report to Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer Derek Kerr. Christy, 50, will report to Senior Vice President
and Chief Information Officer Brad Jensen.
Keith Bush
“Keith brings an extensive financial background to our airline and
possesses broad expertise in commercial banking, long-range financial
forecasting and budgeting, and risk management,” said Kerr. “We are
extremely pleased to welcome him to US Airways and look forward to his
contributions.”
In his new role, Bush will be responsible for developing and managing
the airline’s capital and operating budgets as well as overseeing
long-range planning, airline profitability, and fleet analysis. Bush
comes to US Airways from Northwest Airlines, with more than 14 years in
financial planning and analysis, and treasury experience. Most recently,
he served as Northwest’s assistant treasurer, with responsibility for
financing activities, balance sheet management, insurance and risk
management and investment banking relationships.
Bush earned his Master of Business Administration, with a concentration
in finance and strategic management, from Case Western Reserve in
Cleveland and his Bachelor of Science in marketing from Butler
University in Indianapolis.
Todd Christy
“Over the past eight years, Todd has been a key leader in the design and
implementation of critical information systems throughout our airline,
including the recent launch of the ‘MyHR’ Human Resources Management
System and our Employee Travel Center, which supports our employee
travel benefits,” said Jensen. “We congratulate Todd on this
well-deserved promotion and look forward to his continued contributions
to US Airways’ information technology leadership.”
Christy previously held the position of managing director, technology
delivery. In his new position as vice president, business technology,
Christy will continue to oversee systems that support the airline’s
employees and will also manage information technology support for the
finance/accounting, human resources, revenue management, data warehouse,
baggage, cargo and online marketing teams.
