General counsel and senior vice president legal affairs | Dubai Aviation Corporation (flydubai)

About

Michelle Johnson joined Air Berlin shortly after its initial public offering in 2006, beginning her extremely successful in-house career within the low-cost airline sector. Here, she says, ‘I led and developed diverse teams as well as provided advice to management and the board of directors on all matters ranging from corporate and asset finance, securities compliance, governance, restructuring and insolvency’, only leaving the company after it ceased trading: ‘While mired in tragedy, it was an honour to lead a dedicated group of professionals in the challenges of selling significant parts of the business within the confines of the Air Berlin insolvency proceedings’. Since joining flydubai in 2018, Johnson has led the company’s in-house legal team through a number of innovative commercial and financial transactions both domestically and internationally in recent years. She is the ideal individual to take the lead in this. Highly accomplished, well rounded and results-driven, Johnson also has proven management ability in developing, negotiating and implementing complex transactions.
