Listed airline Cebu Air Inc. announced Monday the resignation of Frederick Go as director of the board of the country’s largest budget carrier flying under the brand name Cebu Pacific.
Go recently dropped assignments within the Gokongwei Group after he was appointed by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. as the chief executive’s special assistant for Investment and Economic Affairs—effectively the Marcos administration’s new economic czar. The 54-year-old business executive earlier quit as chief executive at Robinsons Land Inc. and its real estate investment trust, RL Commercial REIT.
Go will be replaced by David Gulliver Go as director of Cebu Air.
David Go is chief human resources officer at JG Summit Holdings, Inc., the publicly-listed parent holding company of Cebu Air, and serves as board committee advisor for Marketing and Service Fulfillment at Maxicare Healthcare Corporation.
Previously, he was the head of Executive Education at the Asian Institute of Management, serving both local and international corporate organizations for their executive training programs. He was also engaged in other roles in the education sector, with Enderun Colleges as Business Administration head and with Binus University Indonesia as visiting faculty. He also held executive director positions at endowed research centers for banking (Jose B. Fernandez Jr. Center for Banking and Finance) and tourism (Andrew L. Tan Center for Tourism).
David Go received his Masters in Business Administration from the AIM and a Doctorate Degree from Ritsumeikan University.
David Go is son of Johnson Go, brother of the late John Gokongwei and uncle of presidential adviser Go and Lance Gokongwei, president and CEO of JG Summit and chairman of Cebu Air.
