It's never good news when the CFO is bailing... Although you have to admit that he has had a pretty stressful job over the last 7 years - I'd bail out too!
CHICAGO, Aug 15 (Reuters) - UAL Corp (UAUA.O: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), parent of United Airlines, said on Friday that it had promoted Kathryn Mikells to chief financial officer, succeeding Jake Brace, who is set to retire on Nov. 1.
Mikells, currently UAL's vice president of investor relations, joined the airline in 1994 as a financial analyst. Brace, who began working at UAL in 1988, will retain an advisory role at the company.
Mikells' previous positions at UAL include vice president of financial planning and analysis as well as vice president and treasurer.
Prior to joining UAL, Mikells worked in the financial services sector at GE Capital's Corporate Finance Group, Household International and Canadian Imperial Bank.
Brace became CFO in 2001 and held the additional title of chief restructuring officer. In that capacity, he led the company through its Chapter 11 restructuring from 2002 to 2006. (Reporting by Kyle Peterson; Editing by Gerald E. McCormick and Lisa Von Ahn)
