KQ shakes up top management after acting CEO exit

Kenya Airways has restructured its top management, changing the reporting lines of different business segments, in a bid to strengthen its business amid continued financial and operational pressures.

The restructure, effected days after the airline’s acting CEO George Kamal resigned for personal reasons , will see at least four segments previously under the Strategy and Innovation division transferred to the Commercial division headed by Julius Thairu.

Ms Hellen Mathuka headed the restructured Strategy and Innovation division.

The four affected segments include the head of pricing and revenue management, head of network planning and alliances, head of media and public relations, and head of government affairs.
