Management changes at Amex EMEA
American Express Business Travel senior vice president EMEA Ron DiLeo is leaving to move back to the US at the end of September.
He will be replaced by David Herrick, currently senior vice president, Global Establishment Services (GES) Europe.
Herrick joined Amex 22 years ago and has led its Global Establishment Services Europe for the past four years.
In previous roles, he was also responsible for relationships with airlines, hotels and retailers.
Charles Petruccelli, president Global Travel Services, said: “Ron DiLeo has led the market through enormous reengineering efforts, consistently growing the European business, driving double digit new sales growth and re-signed business.
“Joining American Express Business Travel through the acquisition of Rosenbluth International in 2003, Ron rose to the professional challenge of a three-year relocation to London to lead the European business and hands over a strong business for future growth under David’s leadership.”
