Travelport has announced that UK & Ireland managing director Simon Ferguson will now also lead the company’s business in the Nordics.
Ferguson will lead operations in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland alongside Travelport’s existing management team of Anita Wagner Feddersen, Peter Cramon and Jette Kongensgaard.
Former regional manager for the Nordics, Mathias Andersson will move to a new role of COO at Travelport subsidiary Hotelzon.
“The Nordics is one of the most exciting European travel regions, with digitally savvy consumers, suppliers and intermediaries and an optimistic outlook for both leisure and business travel,” said Ferguson.
“There is huge opportunity for Travelport’s Travel Commerce Platform, and I look forward to driving our business and fuelling the growth of our customers.”
Damiano Sabatino, Travelport’s vice president and managing director for Western Europe added: “Simon is the ideal person to build on the great work achieved by Mathias Andersson in the Nordics and to help lead our business there to the next phase in its development.”
