Exclusive | 2 top Cathay Pacific executives resign, opening door to reshuffle of senior talent
- Customer director Simon Large and chief risk officer Philippe Lacamp have stepped down from Hong Kong’s flagship carrier
- Their departure shakes up the dynamics of the airline’s leadership as the company begins to move towards installing a new CEO
Simon Large, one of the airline’s directors who oversaw all customer-related activities, has resigned and will return to Britain, while Philippe Lacamp has stepped down as chief risk officer after little more than eight months in the role.
The airline confirmed the Post’s earlier story on Thursday morning, and in a memo to staff CEO Augustus Tang Kin-wing thanked the pair for their years of service.
“Both Simon and Philippe have contributed greatly to the success of Cathay Pacific,” Tang said. “We are truly indebted to both of them and they will be missed by all with whom they have worked over their careers. I wish them every success and happiness with their future endeavours.”
Tang said successors for Large and Lacamp would be announced at a later date.
