KUALA LUMPUR, March 18 (Bernama) -- AirAsia Bhd Chief Executive Officer Aireen Omar has been named one of the '25 Most Influential Women in Treasury' by the inaugural Women in Treasury Summit held in Singapore on Tuesday. The award honours Aireen's commitment to improving the fortunes of the company and its finance and treasury operations, said Daniel Flatt, editor of The Corporate Treasurer magazine. "The award is both a testament to the forward-thinking nature of AirAsia and the drive and energy of the individuals who work there," he said in a statement.
