Now, behind the scenes of Chapter 11's financial restructuring, Brazilian Career GoL has appointed Julian Pascal François Inbert as the new Chief Financial Officer and Investment Officer.
Imbert fills the vacancy left by Eduardo Lee Gotilla, who resigned in April after just 10 months in the role of GoL's CFO.
The Rio de Janeiro-based airline says Imbert's carrier is focusing on “operational efficiency programs.”
This includes working for 18 years at the Boston Consulting Group, “where he created and led operations practices in Brazil,” as well as time at the “related auditing company,” and as a flight control engineer at Dassault Airlines.
In May, GOL received approval from the US Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York for its financial restructuring plan, and was born out of a multi-month process in June.
As part of the turnaround strategy, the airline secured $1.9 billion in total exit funding and concession packages from aircraft lenders.
The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in January 2024. At the time, GOL cited debt burdens and a maximum delivery delay of 737 as a contribution to financial difficulties.
GOL recorded a strong quarter in the first quarter, with passenger capacity measured in available seat kilometers increasing by 12% over the same period in 2024.
