GDS and technology firm Sabre has announced that Tom Klein is to replace Sam Gilliland as chief executive.
Gilliland will continue to sit on the board with Klein – who currently serves as president – and will occupy both roles once the transition takes place.
Gilliland said: “It has been a privilege to lead Sabre’s outstanding team of more than 10,000 technology and business professionals over the past 10 years as chief executive.
“Together, we have diversified our business and made crucial investments to stay at the leading edge of technology for the travel industry.
“Tom Klein has been my partner in that endeavour and I can think of no one better suited to take our company forward.”
Klein said: “I am honoured by the trust being placed in me by the board, and I am excited by the opportunity that the global team at Sabre now faces as we write this company’s next chapter.
“I am particularly grateful to Sam Gilliland, who has been an exceptional leader of our company for a decade.”
