Southwest Announces Executive Changes

Southwest Airlines Co. has announced several executive changes.

The Dallas-based carrier on Monday named Andrew Watterson as vice president of network planning and performance. He had been vice president of planning and revenue management at Hawaiian Airlines.

Sherry Staber, who's a vice president at Plano-based retailer J.C. Penney Co., was named vice president of business transformation in the airline's technology organization. Staber assumed a vacant position. Watterson didn't replace anyone.

Southwest promoted Bill Tiffany to vice president from senior director in supply-chain management. Senior Vice President Brian Hirshman moved to operations from technical operations, replacing Greg Wells, who was named senior VP of operational performance.
