John E. "Ned" Walker, 56, joined Delta as Senior Vice President & Chief Communications Officer in November 2008. Ned joined Delta after retiring from Continental Airlines after a distinguished 21 year career in corporate communications.
Under Ned's leadership, Continental became recognized as a leader in internal and external communications. During Ned's last five years, Fortune Magazine ranked Continental the Most Admired Global Airline.
During his career, Ned promoted coordinated communications within the airline to establish consistent messaging with employees, shareholders, media and the public.
Ned was a key contributor to Continental's remarkable turnaround in the late 1990s when the airline rose to the top of the industry in employee morale and customer service after two bankruptcies. In 1996, Ned was named Employee Communications All-Star by Inside PR and was recognized for helping to transform Continental's once authoritarian corporate culture into a more employee-friendly environment.
He joined Continental in 1987 and was immediately involved in communications as the airline merged with PeopleExpress, New York Air and several commuter airlines.
Ned began his aviation career with Frontier Horizon, a Frontier Airlines' subsidiary.
Ned had previously been a journalist with The Chicago Tribune-owned KWGN-TV in Denver.
He serves on the Advisory Council of the College of Communications at the University of Texas at Austin. Ned was chairman of the visitor relations subcommittee for the Super Bowl XXXVIII Host Committee. He holds a bachelor's degree in mass communications from the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Dr. Walter E. Massey is president emeritus of Morehouse College, the nation's largest private four-year liberal arts college for men. Dr. Massey held the position of president from 1995-2007, leading the College during its historic A Campaign for a New Century, its most successful capital campaign to date. Dr. Massey is also a former director of the National Science Foundation, a position to which he was appointed by former President George H.W. Bush. The Foundation is the government's lead agency for support of research and education in mathematics, science and engineering. Massey also served as vice president for research and professor of physics at the University of Chicago, as director of the Argonne National Laboratory, dean of the College and professor of physics at Brown University and as assistant professor of physics at the University of Illinois. He is a Fellow and past president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a Fellow and past vice president of the American Physical Society, and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Philosophical Society and the Council on Foreign Relations. Immediately prior to Morehouse, Massey was provost and senior vice president for academic affairs at the University of California. In this position, the second most senior position in the UC system, he was responsible for academic and research planning and policy, budget planning and allocations for the nine campuses of the system, and programmatic oversight of the three national laboratories the University manages for the Department of Energy: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. After earning a bachelor of science in physics and mathematics in 1958 from Morehouse, Massey received his master's and doctorate in physics in 1966 from Washington University in St. Louis, MO. Massey's research has involved the study of quantum liquids and solids. His written work has also addressed science and math education, the role of science in a democratic society, and university-industry interactions and technology transfer in national and international settings. Active with a range of organizations, Massey is currently chairman of the Salzburg Global Seminar and past chair of the Secretary of Energy Advisory Board (SEAB) and is serving his second term as a member of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), having also served on PCAST under the first President Bush. The recipient of more than 30 honorary degrees from institutions such as Yale University, Northwestern University, Amherst and the Ohio State University, Massey's leadership in education includes his service as a member of the Gates Millennium Scholars Advisory Council and the National Commission on Mathematics and Science Teaching for the 21st Century, member of the board of the University of Chicago Project GRAD Atlanta and chairman of the Atlanta Committee for Public Education. Active, also, in civic and cultural affairs, he is a member of the board of the National Opinion Research Center, the Museum of Science and Industry, Atlanta Committee for Progress, the board of the Woodruff Arts Center and founding chairman of Great Schools Atlanta. In addition, Massey is on several corporate and foundation boards, including the Mellon Foundation, Bank of America Corporation, Delta Air Lines, Inc. McDonald's Corporation, and BP p.l.c. and is a former director of several other corporations, including Motorola Inc. and the First National Bank of Chicago. Born in Hattiesburg, MS, he and his wife Shirley Anne have two sons and three grandchildren.
