Air Tahiti Nui appoints Philippe Marie as new CEO
Air Tahiti Nui, the flagship carrier of French Polynesia, has appointed Philippe Marie as its new Chief Executive Officer. With extensive experience across the aerospace, financial and legal sectors, and a deep understanding of French Polynesia, Marie is well-positioned to lead the airline from its Papeete headquarters towards new growth and opportunities.
Marie previously served as Secretary General of Air Tahiti Nui between 2004 and 2007. Most recently, he was President of MARARA Paiement, a financial institution in Tahiti, where he modernised payment solutions and advanced financial technology. His career also includes fourteen years as Deputy General Manager at Banque de Tahiti, and a subsequent role as Technical Advisor on Financial and Economic Matters for the Government of French Polynesia, where he helped shape local financial laws and frameworks.
“We are thrilled to welcome Mr. Marie back to the Air Tahiti Nui team,” said Caroline Borawski, Vice President of the Americas at Air Tahiti Nui. “His in-depth knowledge of the Islands of Tahiti and his expertise in the airline industry are invaluable as we strengthen our position in the competitive Pacific region.”
Marie's vast knowledge of the destination is expected to enhance the airline's operational integrity and compliance while building on its strong partnerships and solid foundation.
