With Munoz Ill, United Names Acting CEO
With Oscar Munoz hospitalized after suffering a heart attack in Chicago, United Continental Holdings has named Brett Hart acting CEO. Hart is an executive vice president and general counsel for United. He will work closely with Henry L. Meyer II, United’s nonexecutive chairman of the board, and the executive team, the company said. It “is too soon to know the course of treatment and timing of recovery” for Munoz, who took over at United in September after former CEO Jeff Smisek became involved in a federal probe. The company is scheduled to report quarterly earnings on Thursday.
