SeaWorld chief to join cruise line
SeaWorld chief financial officer James Heaney is to step down next month, and will take up a position in the cruise industry.
Heaney’s final day at SeaWorld Entertainment is June 19 and he will be replaced by Marc G. Swanson as interim chief financial officer from June 1.
Swanson has served as chief accounting officer since 2012
Heaney, who hasn’t revealed which cruise line he will be joining, started at SeaWorld in 2012 after a 17 year career at Disney.
"During his time at SeaWorld Entertainment, Jim contributed significantly in solidifying our finance capabilities and building a great finance team," said SeaWorld CEO Joel Manby.
"We understand his desire to accept what he views as an extraordinary professional opportunity to return to his former industry and we wish him well."
