British low-cost airline Easyjet has appointed Jan De Raeymaeker as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective January 20, 2025. He will replace Kenton Jarvis, who will take over the position of CEO from Johan Lundgren, the airline announced.
Jan De Raeymaeker brings extensive experience from the aviation and logistics industry to his new role. He is currently CFO of European rail freight company Lineas and previously held the same role at Brussels Airlines. In his new position, he will not only lead Easyjet's finance department, but will also oversee areas such as strategy, fleet management, business analysis, reporting, and risk and safety.
The leadership change comes as part of a broader transition, with Kenton Jarvis taking over as CEO on January 1, 2025. Johan Lundgren will step down after seven years in the role. During his tenure, Lundgren led the airline through challenging times such as Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic and ensured stabilization of the company, including reducing half-year losses.
