Travelport Hotelzon has appointed Daniel Guillou as its managing director.
Hotelzon, a hotel distribution technology provider, was acquired by Travelport last year.
Based in Finland, Guillou will be responsible for taking Travelport Hotelzon to its “next level of growth” through international expansion including entry into new territories outside of Europe.
Guillou has more than 20 years experience working in the international IT and telecommunications industry where he held leadership positions at a number of organisations including Ericsson and Tieto.
Niklas Andréen, SVP of hospitality and digital media for Travelport, said: “I am delighted to welcome Daniel to Travelport Hotelzon, bringing as he does significant experience and expertise in growing entrepreneurial start-up companies, leading high performing teams and driving business transformation.
“His timely appointment marks the start of a new phase for the business as it embarks on its second year with Travelport with ambitions to grow in the hotel and corporate travel space on an international basis.”
Also joining the Travelport Hotelzon senior management team this month is Olli Kaivola as head of finance. Kaivola brings with him experience in auditing, tax law and financial and management reporting.
