Siva Govindasamy

Divisional VP Public Affairs
Singapore Airlines
Singapore

 

The recent violent turbulence incident at Singapore Airlines may well provide clues to Siva Govindasamy’s approach as the company’s VP of public affairs, a position he has held since late 2019. SIA handled the crisis in a particularly sensitive and effective manner, winning plaudits and demonstrating the kind of best practice that the aviation industry in general can do doubt learn from.

Govindasamy’s role at SIA remains a critical one — overseeing executive, strategic, product, customer, and employee communications, as well as global media relations and issues management for one of the world’s top carriers. He took on the position following three years with Airbus, which he joined after a lengthy career as a journalist, which included senior roles at Reuters and FlightGlobal.
