The new CEO, who joined the firm in 2019, has more than 20 years of experience in the financial sector with a focus on investment banking, as well as extensive experience working with transportation companies, including airlines, railroads and heavy vehicle companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>See also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/en\/2021\/04\/avianca-airline-bankruptcy.html\">Avianca expects emerge from bankruptcy this year.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure a smooth transition, Van der Werff was appointed to Avianca&#8217;s Board of Directors today, a position he will hold effective immediately, and will also serve as an advisor to Avianca until mid-June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Adrian has a deep knowledge of Avianca, a proven track record in overseeing the Company&#8217;s corporate restructuring.
