Virgin Australia welcomes home its new head of PR
Matthew Ongarello is returning to Virgin Australia
Airline Virgin Australia has appointed Matthew Ongarello as its group head of PR and brand — a move that will see the long-time Virgin employee return to Australia from the UK.
Ongarello has been with the airline in a communications capacity since January 2020, when he joined as a public affairs specialist. Prior to this, he worked in ground operations for Virgin in Melbourne in the early 2010s.
He’s worked across the Virgin Group’s global company portfolio in senior roles, including senior manager for public relations and content, and head of public relations, social media, content and events (both in Australia); and, most recently, head of news (corporate communications) in Virgin’s London office.
