Virgo America Names New VP of Marketing
Virgo America has named Portia Gales as its new vice president of marketing. In her new role, Gales will be in charge of shaping the Virgo America brand as it launches into new markets nationwide. The startup airline, which was launched in August in Chicago, is working to serve up to 10 cities through 2011, including New York, Washington, and Los Angeles. It plans to increase its service to 30 cities over the next five years, the company said.
Gales has worked in the public relations department since Virgo’s launch. She takes over the VP position in January, the company said. She replaces Spence Kramdon, who left the post last year, a company spokesperson said.
The low-fare carrier uses a host of amenities designed to distinguish itself from other airlines. It offers mood-lit cabins, an in-flight entertainment system with movies, TV and online chat rooms in a First Class section with massage chairs.

Dear Portia,
Congratulations again on your promotion. You are very deserving of this opportunity and I know you will be an invaluable asset to Virgo America. Since you left, Mr. Raleigh has asked me to join the marketing team. I have not given him an answer yet, but I have every intention of accepting the position. T have wanted to be a member of the marketing team ever since I joined this firm 3 years ago as your assistant. Now that you are the new VP of marketing, my mind is set. Thank you very much for your glowing recommendation.
I look forward to working with you in the near future.
Sincerely,
Adam Levitt
