Air India has appointed Sanjay Sharma as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective June 10th. Sharma, who brings over 30 years of finance experience from Tata Projects and Deutsche Bank, will take over from Vinod Hejmadi, who is retiring after three decades with Air India.
Sharma will succeed Vinod Hejmadi, who is retiring after dedicating more than 30 years to Air India. “We are delighted to welcome Sanjay to our leadership team and anticipate his valuable contributions to Air India’s ongoing transformation,” said Campbell Wilson, Air India’s Managing Director and CEO. Wilson also expressed gratitude to Hejmadi, stating, “We thank Vinod for his long and dedicated service to the company.”
This appointment occurs as Air India, under Tata’s ownership since January 2022, is executing a turnaround strategy. The plan includes merging Vistara and Air India into a full-service carrier, and combining Air India Express with AIX Connect to form a low-cost airline.
