And the new director: Ms Namblard, formerly chief executive of a Luxemburg-based European transport equity fund Galaxy Fund, would take her seat as a non-executive director immediately, Qantas said in a statement on Thursday.
She also worked for 19 years at Banque Nationale de Paris (BNP).

Looks like another board assisted private equity tilt is in the offing...then assest stripping and collapse (there are many ex Ansett staff including Joyce now employed at Qantas).
