Alan Joyce Biography

Alan Joyce is one of the most popular and richest Businessperson who was born on June 30, 1966 in Tallaght, Tallaght, Ireland. Alan Joseph Joyce, AC (born 30 June 1966) is an Irish businessman. He is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Australian airline Qantas.

The Australian named Joyce the most influential business leader in 2011. Yet a poll following his controversial 2011 grounding of the Qantas fleet showed the action has increased negative public perception of the airline. In 2011, Joyce’s remuneration was increased 71 per cent from $2.92 million in 2009–10 to $5.01 million and he was granted 1.7 million Qantas shares under a long- term incentive plan. His reported comments that his salary was “conservative” were criticized by the Australian and International Pilots Association (AIPA).

On 9 May 2017, Joyce was delivering a speech to a business breakfast event in Perth, when a lemon meringue pie was pushed into his face by an unknown assailant, later identified as Tony Overheu, a Western Australian farmer and Christian. Overheu, aged 67, gave a false name to police after the incident, but subsequently apologized for humiliating the CEO claiming that he pied the business figure due to his own personal belief that Joyce had overstepped the line in his gay marriage advocacy and the assailant’s response simply reflected community push-back. Overheu was later charged with common assault, trespass, damage and giving false details to police. Along with being banished from his church, he was also banned from flying Qantas (including Qantas’ partner airlines).

Joyce is openly gay and married his long-term partner, Shane Lloyd, on 2 November 2019. Joyce and Lloyd, a New Zealander, had been in a relationship since 1999. The two live in the inner-Sydney suburb of The Rocks. In 2011, Joyce was successfully treated for prostate cancer.

Joyce became CEO of Qantas on 28 November 2008. He is a former Director of Orangestar Investment Holdings Pte Limited (holding company of Singapore-based Jetstar Asia Airways and Valuair) and Jetstar Pacific Airlines Aviation Joint Stock Company (in Vietnam). On 29 October 2011, as a result of continuing industrial unrest following the announcement of job losses and structural changes at Qantas, Joyce grounded the entire Qantas mainline fleet.

In 1996, he left Aer Lingus to join the now-defunct Ansett Australia.

In 2000, he joined Qantas. At both Ansett Australia and Qantas, Joyce headed the Network Planning, Schedules Planning and Network Strategy functions. Joyce was appointed CEO of Qantas subsidiary Jetstar Airways in October 2003.

Overheu appeared before Perth Magistrates Court on 7 July 2017, pleaded guilty to charges of assault and trespass, damaging the lapel microphone Joyce was wearing, and giving a false name to police after the incident. Overheu was fined $3,600, as well as ordered to pay $269 in compensation for the lapel microphone and $188 in costs. Overheu’s lawyer said his client had had “physical and personal difficulties” in recent years, including mental health issues.
