==Management== Oneworld announced the formation of a central alliance team, the Oneworld Management Company (OMC), in February 2000, to mark the alliance's first anniversary. The OMC was established May 2000 in [[Vancouver]], British Columbia, Canada (see [[#Headquarters|§ Headquarters]] below). It acts as the alliance's central secretariat, with responsibility for driving future growth and the launch of new customer services and benefits. The OMC was first led by managing partner Peter Buecking, previously director of sales and marketing at [[Cathay Pacific]]; followed by John McCulloch, previously the alliance's vice-president for marketing. Bruce Ashby, who previously held roles of CEO of [[Saudi Arabia]]'s [[Sama (airline)|SAMA Airlines]], CEO of India's [[IndiGo]], and executive vice-president for [[US Airways]], became CEO in December 2011. Rob Gurney succeeded Ashby as CEO in October 2016.<ref name="RobGurney2016">{{cite web|title= oneworld CEO Rob Gurney |url=https://www.oneworld.com/news-information/oneworld-fact-sheets/oneworld-ceo-rob-gurney |website=Oneworld |access-date=25 October 2016 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161025181233/https://www.oneworld.com/news-information/oneworld-fact-sheets/oneworld-ceo-rob-gurney |archive-date=25 October 2016 }}</ref> Reporting to the CEO are vice-presidents for commercial; membership and customer experience; and corporate communications, a chief financial officer and an IT director.<ref name="OMC">{{cite press release|title=Oneworld marks first anniversary by establishing central alliance team |url=http://www.oneworld.com/ow/news/details?objectID=1276 |website=Oneworld |date=1 February 2000 |access-date=8 August 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110719121215/http://www.oneworld.com/ow/news/details?objectID=1276 |archive-date=19 July 2011 }}</ref><ref name="intro">{{cite web|title=An introduction to Oneworld – The alliance that revolves around you|website=Oneworld|url=http://www.oneworld.com/documents/10180/23479/2013-06-24+intro+to+oneworld+LONG/f65eaec7-75da-439b-b03f-495f0e384ac1|date=June 2014|access-date=2 July 2015|archive-date=7 July 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170707063439/https://www.oneworld.com/documents/10180/23479/2013-06-24+intro+to+oneworld+LONG/f65eaec7-75da-439b-b03f-495f0e384ac1}}</ref><ref name="privacy">{{cite web|title=Privacy Policy |url=http://www.oneworld.com/ow/privacy-policy |website=Oneworld |access-date=8 August 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081113073624/https://www.oneworld.com/ow/privacy-policy |archive-date=13 November 2008 }}</ref> The CEO reports to the Oneworld Governing Board, which is made up of the [[chief executive]]s of each of the member airlines.
