Between 2007 and 2020 Vaughan flew Qantas Loyalty to new heights as he was responsible for the strategy, commercial, innovation, and analytics functions in the business. During this time, he created a number of break out businesses within the Qantas Group, particularly Red Planet, Qantas Cash, Qantas Wine, which attributed to the growth in scale of the business - revolutionising the concept and function of a loyalty business.
