Congratulations to Lisa Burquest, Virgin Australia’s Chief People Officer, who was named Female Leader of the Year, Large Business at the Australian Aviation Awards last night.
Lisa’s recognition reflects the significant contribution she has made to Virgin Australia and the culture we have built right across the business.
Our culture has always been one of the things that sets Virgin Australia apart. It is grounded in safety, care and performance, while giving our people the confidence to speak up, contribute their ideas and bring their unique Virgin flair to work each day.
That is also at the heart of our belonging strategy. We want every team member to feel valued, included and supported to do their best work, because a strong sense of belonging helps create better teams, stronger leadership and better outcomes for our guests and our business.
Lisa has been a passionate advocate for our people and has played an important role in turning that ambition into action across Virgin Australia.
This is a well-deserved recognition of Lisa’s leadership and a proud reflection of the thousands of people who contribute to our culture every day.
