Gordon Wilson to head combined Galileo/Worldspan
Gordon Wilson is to be CEO and president of the combined Galileo/Worldspan organisation on completion of the deal.
Wilson has been with Galileo since 1991, serving as Galileo CEO and president since January.
Jeff Clarke, CEO and president of parent company Travelport, said: “I am pleased to announce that Gordon will expand his role at the helm of Galileo and assume additional responsibilities as CEO and president of both Travelport GDS businesses as we integrate them.
“Gordon has been a driving force in the travel services industry for the past two decades and we are all very excited about the opportunities he will generate from the pending combination of Galileo and Worldspan.
“I am confident that we couldn’t have a more knowledgeable, experienced or enthusiastic man to lead the new organisation.
“I know that under Gordon’s leadership, we will create a more efficient and innovative provider of travel content and ensure that Travelport is best positioned to meet the growing demands of customers.”
Wilson said: “I am delighted to have the opportunity to build upon the complementary strengths of these two companies to lead the way in reshaping the distribution landscape.
“Our new organisation will be a truly global aggregator of travel content and provider of travel solutions. We will be focused on enabling our supplier customers to create real value in distributing their products in the way they desire and enabling our agency customers to bring informed and independent choice to consumers.”
