Carnival Corp. & plc appointed Helen Deeble, ceo of P&O Ferries Division Holdings, to its board. She becomes the company's third woman director, along with Debra Kelly-Ennis and Laura Weil.

A seasoned executive with over 30 years of experience in retail, shipping, logistics and leisure travel, Deeble will serve in a non-executive capacity on Carnival Corp.’s 10-member board. She will also serve on the board's Health, Environmental, Safety and Security Committee.

'Helen brings extensive experience from her leadership roles across several industries, including decades of work in the maritime and travel sectors, and valuable time spent in consumer retail,' Carnival chairman Micky Arison said.

Since 2006, Deeble has led P&O Ferries Division Holdings, a pan-European shipping and logistics business, following stints as the company’s chief operating officer and chief financial officer starting in 1998.
