Hospitality Solutions, the hotel reservation technology business acquired in July by investment firm TPG from Sabre Corp., has named former American Express Global Business Travel executive and Egencia president Mark Hollyhead as chief transformation officer, a new role, the company announced Monday.
Hollyhead will begin work in his role in “mid-September,” a spokesperson confirmed to BTN.
Hollyhead at Hospitality Solutions will “drive transformation by leveraging AI and other technologies to advance product development and strategic initiatives across the organization,” the company said in a statement.
Hollyhead served as president of Egencia when the travel management company was acquired by Amex GBT from Expedia in 2021. At Amex GBT, he served as chief product officer until his resignation earlier this year. Hollyhead before Egencia served in a variety of roles for British Airways.
TPG is operating Hospitality Solutions, which it acquired from Sabre for $1.1 billion and which offers a software-as-a-service platform designed to assist hotels’ distribution operations and retailing experience, as a separate business. Hospitality Solutions CEO Teresa Mackintosh in a statement called it “a formative time for Hospitality Solutions as we position the company for an exciting period of growth and transformation.”
