McCall has been in senior management positions at GMG for more than a decade. The Guardian Media Group publishes the Guardian, the Observer, and guardian.co.uk. Andy Harrison announced his resignation as CEO of easyJet plc in December 2009, together with the group's Chairman, Sir David Michels, after the board's dissagreement over strategy with easyJet's founder, Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou. McCall "has a proven track record of successful operational delivery in a fast changing on-line consumer facing business combined with extensive plc Board and government and lobbying experience," easyJet said in a statement. McCall, honoured with an OBE, said she was "proud to become the chief executive of a company that has achieved so much in the past 15 years, not least a leading presence on Europe's most popular routes. "My priority will be to build on easyJet's strengths: a strong consumer proposition, leadership positions in many of Europe's key airports, and an operating model built around simplicity and low cost."
