Management
Oneworld announced the formation of a central management team, Oneworld Management Company (oMC), to mark the alliance's first anniversary. The oMC was established in May 2000 in Vancouver, Canada, and in June 2011 relocated to New York City. It is responsible for driving future growth and the launch of new customer services and benefits. The oMC was first led by Managing Partner Peter Buecking, previously Director of Sales and Marketing at Cathay Pacific; followed by John McCulloch, previously the alliance's Vice-President Marketing; and since December, 2011 by Bruce Ashby, who previously held roles of CEO of Saudi Arabia's SAMA Airlines, CEO of India's IndiGo, and Executive Vice-President for U.S. Airways. Reporting to the Managing Partner are Vice-Presidents for Commercial; Membership and Customer Experience; and Corporate Communications.
The Managing Partner reports to the alliance board, Oneworld Governing Board, which is made up of the chief executives of each of the member airlines. The Governing Board meets regularly to set strategic direction and review progress. Chairman of the board rotates on an annual basis among the alliance members' chief executives. American Airlines' Chairman, President and Chief Executive Tom Horton currently has the role.
