Geraghty, 49, is responsible for JetBlue’s safety, operations and commercial performance, including leadership of the airline’s frontline workforce as well as the network, brand and marketing, and revenue management functions.

Prior to her current role, Geraghty held various senior executive management positions at JetBlue, including Executive Vice President of Customer Experience, Executive Vice President and Chief People Officer, and Vice President and Associate General Counsel. Before joining JetBlue, Geraghty was a partner at Holland & Knight LLP.
Geraghty earned a bachelor’s degree in sociology from College of the Holy Cross and a juris doctor and master’s degree in international relations from Syracuse University.
“Joanna’s intimate knowledge of the aerospace industry and first-hand experience leading a global organization will be invaluable assets as we continue to grow our international market presence and address our customers’ critical missions,” said Christopher E. Kubasik, Vice Chair and Chief Executive Officer.
“In today’s fast-changing global business environment, L3Harris is well positioned to address the growing demand for innovative solutions that can be delivered rapidly,” Geraghty said. “I am excited to be a part of L3Harris’ Board of Directors and to contribute to the company’s long-term growth strategy.”
