United Airlines Holdings, Inc. has made two leadership promotions within its Executive team. Josh Earnest is promoted to executive vice president of Communications and Advertising and Terri Fariello is promoted to executive vice president of government Affairs and Global Public Policy. Both will remain on United's Executive Team.

Josh joined United in 2018 as senior vice president and chief communications officer. He leads the airline's global communications and advertising strategies and serves as the company's chief spokesman. Before joining United, Josh spent two decades in politics and government, including as White House Press secretary from 2014 to 2017 and as an analyst for NBC News from 2017-2018.

Under Josh's direction, United developed a more integrated approach to communications public relations, social media, advertising, employee engagement and investor and executive communications that helped drive awareness of the company's leadership during the pandemic as well as industry-first investments in technology, sustainability and the customer experience. Josh's team also launched the airline's first new brand campaign in a decade - Good Leads The Way - which tells the story of United's leadership in areas like customer service, diversity and sustainability, and captures the optimism fueling the airline's large ambitions. Throughout his career, Josh has received recognition for leadership in communications, including regularly appearing on PRWeek's annual 'Power List.'

Terri joined United in 2017 as a senior vice president. Based in Washington, DC, she leads the company's federal, state and international government engagement, including environmental affairs. Before joining United, Terri spent 16 years at Exxon Mobil most recently serving as vice president of their Washington, DC office, leading the company's federal and state government affairs.

In her time at United, Terri has helped to open and sustain constructive lines of communications with two different presidential Administrations as well as with state and local leaders on both sides of the aisle. Her team successfully manages geopolitical issues and domestic and international policy proposals that have the potential to impact commercial aviation. She has positioned United as a trusted partner among federal, state and international government officials, and during the pandemic, Terri and her team were instrumental in driving support for the Cares Act.

More recently, her team spearheaded efforts at the federal and state levels in support of legislation to further develop sustainable aviation fuel production. Under Terri's direction, United has set a course to be 100% green by 2050 by reducing greenhouse gas emissions 100% without relying on traditional carbon offsets and has invested in the future production of over three bn gallons of SAF the most of any airline in the world. She serves on the board of directors of Energy Vault, which develops and deploys utility-scale energy storage solutions designed to transform the world's approach to sustainable energy storage.
