Technology And Business Information Systems Leader Tammy Amirault Promoted To Head Southwest Airlines Technology, Enterprise Management Analytics
by Heather Cassell
Southwest Airlines announced Tammy Amirault as its new managing director of technology, enterprise management analytics earlier this month.
Tammy succeeded Sherry Staber, vice president of technology in enterprise management and technical operations. Sherry is retiring.
She has nearly more than 25-years technical leadership and enterprise resource planning experience managing business information systems. Tammy is an experienced executive serving at the executive level management for nearly nine and a half years for various companies.
Tammy joined Southwest Airlines in September 2017, according to an August 15 news release from the airline.
As a senior leader in technology for the airline’s enterprise management and analytics portfolio, she leads the engagement efforts for finance, corporate services, supply chain, internal audit, communications and outreach, general counsel and government affairs, and corporate strategy to deliver new capabilities in alignment with the airline’s corporate strategy, according to the release.
Additionally, she leads the airline’s technology teams responsible for enterprise data and analytics and advanced analytics and optimization in support of enterprise data strategy.
Tammy previously was the senior vice president IMPRIVA, a business and information technology firm. At the San Francisco-based firm, she was the lead the oversight of $100 million global implementation of systems, applications, and products software projects that drove initiatives across multiple information technology functions, according to her LinkedIn profile. She has experience leading multicultural global teams and instituting large-scale project governance and project leadership programs along with on- and offshore outsourcing engagements, and other important strategic leadership projects, according to her LinkedIn profile.
Tammy is proud of her accomplishments, especially knowing that she’s a role model for women in management. She noted that three years after she left Disney, she received a call from a woman who had been promoted to a manager role who thanked her.
“I was her inspiration for how to be a good manager,” she said in the release.
Another proud achievement was knowing that a majority of her former colleagues she reached out to when she was building a global team for Levi Strauss were willing to relocate to San Francisco to take a role in her team simply because they “wanted to work with me again,” she said.
“It warmed my heart,” she added.
She started her career in media and entertainment working for NBC Universal, Warner Brothers, and the Walt Disney Company before moving to Levi Strauss and company before transitioning into technology business solutions consulting companies.
Tammy holds a bachelor’s degree from Troy State University in Troy, Alabama.
She lives with her husband, Chris, and their two Jack Russell terriers, Jack and Jill.
