John Mangelaars, currently Chief Operating Officer and Deputy CEO, joins the Board of Directors immediately and will succeed as Chief Executive Officer on 1 April 2026. Travelport announced that Greg Webb has notified the Board of Directors that he has decided to step down as Chief Executive Officer, effective 31 March 2026. He will continue as part of the Board of Directors. Mangelaars joined Travelport in September of this year with a remit to deliver the scale, reliability, and innovation that both agencies and suppliers need to thrive in an increasingly complex and demanding marketplace. He is a distinguished executive with over 30 years of leadership experience spanning global technology and travel industries across both B2B and B2C sectors. He has deep industry knowledge and a proven track record in scaling e-commerce operations. Most recently before joining Travelport, John served as CEO at Skyscanner, a global travel marketplace focused on META search, where he led the company through Covid to a strong recovery into the genAI era. Prior to that, he was CEO at Travix International, a leading global online travel agency, where he drove revenue growth and expansion across multiple global markets and established the company as one of the first OTAs to implement NDC.
