Dame Carolyn McCall, DBE

CEO, EasyJet

Carolyn McCall has been credited with transforming the performance of budget airline EasyJet in her role as CEO since 2010, improving punctuality and customer service and widening its appeal to frequent flyers and business travellers. Under her leadership, EasyJet's share price has increased four-fold, with the company entering the FTSE 100 for the first time in 2013, despite intense market competition and uncertainty caused by terrorist attacks in recent times. After graduating, McCall initially trained as a teacher before moving into advertising and marketing and eventually becoming chief executive of Guardian Media Group. McCall was appointed a UK business ambassador in 2014 and a DBE in the 2016 New Year's Honours for services to the aviation industry.
