Opodo appoints full-time CEO

OPODO has appointed former Orange consumer division managing director David Scowsill as chief executive officer.

Scowsill has previously held a number of senior roles with both British Airways and American Airlines. He was also Hilton International senior-vice president sales, marketing and IT.

Scowsill replaces interim CEO Simon Tucker. Tucker, who is Opodo’s chief financial officer, had the post on a temporary basis since Giovanni Bisignani left to join the International Air Transport Association as director general earlier this year.
