Oz Desai
Travel management company FCM has appointed Oz Desai as its new managing director in Ireland.
Desai takes over the role in Ireland after spending 12 years with FCM’s parent company Flight Centre Travel Group, where he held a series of management positions, including most recently as managing director - South Africa for FCM’s sister brand Corporate Traveller.
Based in Dublin, Desai started his new role in early August and his appointment is the first “significant structural change” made by FCM’s UK and Ireland managing director Andy Hegley since taking up his new role in June.
Hegley said: “Over the next year, FCM has set ambitious business growth goals that reflects our considerable investment in technology and services to provide the best possible experience for our customers.”
FCM is planning the launch of a “slew” of new proprietary client solutions across its UK and Ireland business, including the FCM Booking platform, which was unveiled at the Business Travel Show Europe in June.
Desai added: “With corporate travel well and truly revived, this is a transformational time for the industry. I’m excited to take the helm in Ireland to support our customers as they look to make up for lost time and reconnect in real-life for successful business development in 2022.”
