SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment Names James

M. Heaney New Chief Financial Officer

Update : 29/02/12 - 17h38 Published by François Mayné the 24 January 2012, Corporate.

SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment announced that James M. Heaney, former Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President of Finance and Travel Operations for Disney Cruise Line, will join the company as Chief Financial Officer.

Heaney brings nearly 25 years of finance, analysis and operations experience to his new role. The bulk of his career has been spent in the travel industry, initially with Royal Caribbean Cruises and later with the Walt Disney Company. Before leaving Disney in 2011, Heaney had risen to CFO with additional responsibility in Revenue Management, Travel Operations, and Risk Management for the company's cruise division. In that role he managed the cruise line's call center, air/sea department, terminal operations and ground transportation system.

At SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, Heaney will lead the company's Finance, Strategic Sourcing, Procurement, Accounts Payable, Internal Audit, and Planning and Development groups.

James M. Heaney"Jim will be a great addition to the senior leadership group at SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment," said Jim Atchison, President and Chief Executive Officer. "In addition to the significant roles he has played in managing a large and complex organization, he also brings experience in other types of travel businesses and has proven skills in leading functions outside the traditional scope of finance."

Heaney played a key leadership role in the launch of Disney's cruise business and made significant contributions in finance and operations as Disney Cruise Line evolved into one of the segment's most prominent operators.

Prior to joining Disney in 1994, Heaney worked as a finance manager for Royal Caribbean Cruises, where he provided analysis, projections and strategic planning services for the company's operations segment. Heaney began his career with Gould Electronics as a financial systems analyst and moved to Pueblo Xtra International, a grocery store chain based in South Florida, in 1989.
