Briefing
IAG's top finance role will change hands in June 2026 (Cadbury out, Barrionuevo in), shifting oversight of group-wide financial planning and reporting at the parent level.
The appointment is paired with an internal finance reshuffle — Joana de Epalza to Iberia and Gabriel Perdiguero to British Airways — altering senior reporting lines across Iberia, Vueling and BA and creating immediate leadership adjustments within the group (see recent BA leadership departures: https://hype.aero/?story=cfa84fe4-a2c6-4edc-a062-c666a87edd45).
The move reflects broader industry CFO mobility and role reassignments in European carriers, following similar senior finance role changes at peers like Wizz Air (https://hype.aero/?story=637a755d-276c-4231-85b9-5f0ee0774947).
