The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority announced Thursday that Chryssa Westerlund has been named executive vice president and chief revenue officer, responsible for airline business development, marketing and consumer strategy, concessions, commercial parking, corporate communications and government affairs for Reagan National and Dulles International airports, the Dulles Toll Road and the Airports Authority’s corporate functions.

The Board of Directors has selected Krauthamer & Associates to conduct the executive search to fill the position of President and CEO of the Airports Authority. Board Chairman, Charles D. Snelling observed that, “We are in a very good position to conduct this executive search in a thorough, thoughtful and deliberate way since we have a strong management team currently led by Lynn Hampton who is serving as President and CEO during this transitional period.” Krauthamer & Associates will work under the direction of the Legal and Governance Committee chaired by Jack Andrew Garson.
