CARNIVAL Corporation President Australia Marguerite Fitzgerald has resigned from her position with the company (CW breaking news yesterday).
A Carnival spokesperson said Fitzgerald has departed the role for family reasons, after returning to Australia to take the role in Jan 2022 (CW 29 Sep 2021).
“We would like to thank Marguerite for her significant contribution in restoring confidence and certainty in the industry and we wish her all the best in her future endeavours,” the spokesperson said.
Fitzgerald helped successfully lead the return of the sector in Australia, with Carnival at the forefront of the revival of the local cruise industry.
“Restarting a company and an industry from scratch takes a massive effort and I am extremely proud of the Carnival Australia and P&O teams for what they have achieved, under what has often been unfair scrutiny from the media and the government,” Fitzgerald said.
“It is time for me to take a breath and focus in on the most important people in my life.”
P&O Cruises Australia SVP Guest Experience Peter Little will serve as interim leader to guide the company through the transition in leadership.
Little has vast experience with Carnival, having served in a number of leadership positions in Australia and the United Kingdom during his tenure with the company.
