Mesa Air Group Announces New Senior Vice President of Finance

On Feb. 18, Mesa Air Group Inc. named Torque Zubeck as its new senior vice president of finance. Zubeck brings 20 years of industry experience and will help oversee the company's financials and report directly to president and chief financial officer, Michael Lotz. 

“We are excited to welcome Torque to Mesa,” said Jonathan Ornstein, chairman and chief executive officer. “His experience with the operational aspects of the business coupled with his finance background will make him an invaluable addition.”

Zubeck began his career as a senior financial planning analyst for Alaska Airlines. He soon became the marketing division controller for Alaska Airlines before getting promoted to the director of alliances. After serving for several years in alliances, Zubeck took on the role of director of corporate financial planning and analysis, a position he held for a year and a half before being promoted to managing director. Zubeck spent ten years in various managing director roles at the company, such as Alaska Air Cargo and financial and strategic planning. When Alaska Air Group merged with Virgin America in 2016, Zubeck led the integration of the two companies, showcasing his remarkable talents in financial and strategic planning.

“I am looking forward to having Torque join the team,” said Lotz. “He has an impressive skill set for the position and I am excited for the potential he brings to the role.”
