“Ganesh has a proven ability to drive innovation
in large, complex global organizations that are focused on
operational reliability,” Robert said. “His leadership style, global
expertise and success in building and implementing both business
and technology strategy will serve him incredibly well as he steps
in to lead our technology team. We look forward to having him join
our senior team early next month.”
In his role as CDIO, Ganesh will provide
leadership, vision, and direction for American’s technology
organization supporting both technical and business strategic
objectives. This includes leading and shaping the roadmap for
defining the role technology will play in driving customer and
team member experiences.
Ganesh joins the airline from Deere & Company
where he has led the information technology organization since
2016 and served as its Chief Information Officer. He spent more
than 15 years at Deere, holding several key leadership roles,
including Vice President of Information Technology, and Vice
President of Corporate Strategy & Business Development.
Prior to Deere, Ganesh worked at Danaher
Corporation, Canon USA and began his career at Boston Consulting
Group.
Ganesh will succeed Maya Leibman, who previously
announced she will be relocating to the United Kingdom for family
reasons. Maya will assist with leading the transition through
the end of the year and take on new international responsibilities
in 2023. Maya joined American in 1994 and has served as the
airline’s Chief Information Officer since January 2012.
“Maya has been a central leader in American’s
evolution over the past decade,” Robert added. “Her leadership has
left an imprint on our entire organization, and we are thankful
for all that she has done. She has set us up well for this
transition and we look forward to her continued leadership at
American.”
Ganesh has a Bachelor of Technology from
Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi and a Doctorate in
