American Express Global Business Travel (Amex GBT), which
is operated by Global Business Travel Group, Inc. (NYSE: GBTG), the
world’s leading B2B travel platform, today announced its Chief
Revenue Officer Michael Qualantone is to retire after a 34-year
career with American Express and Amex GBT.
Qualantone will begin transitioning his role on January 1, 2023,
to Rajiv Ahluwalia, who becomes Executive Vice President. Ahluwalia
has led distribution, content, and revenue management at Amex GBT
while playing a critical role in driving the Amex GBT marketplace
and NDC capabilities. He will report to Chief Commercial Officer
Andrew Crawley. To ensure a smooth transition, Qualantone will
remain available to the company as an employee until June 30,
2023.
Amex GBT CEO Paul Abbott said: “Mike’s contribution to the
success of our business has been truly significant for more than
three decades. His reputation as one of the industry’s most
knowledgeable and inspirational leaders is well deserved. He was
instrumental in the creation of Amex GBT when it separated from
American Express and played a central role in the acquisitions of
HRG, Ovation and Egencia. As a member of my executive leadership
team his counsel throughout the pandemic was invaluable.”
Qualantone joined American Express as an ARC reconciliation
supervisor in 1988. His reputation as a customer-obsessed,
strategic thinker saw him move quickly up the ranks. As SVP of
global distribution and SVP of supplier relations, he played a key
role in leading the evolution of the industry’s distribution
landscape. In 2016, Business Travel News named him one of the top
25 most influential people in the global sector. He was appointed
Chief Revenue Officer in 2019.
“I’m delighted Mike will remain close to the business for the
first six months of 2023 to ensure a smooth transition. I want to
thank him sincerely for his support and counsel during my tenure as
CEO and wish him a very happy onward journey,” added Abbott.
