Sabre pulled off a shakeup at its Travelocity subsidiary, moving president and CEO Hugh Jones to Sabre Airline Solutions, and bringing on Gilt Groupe president Carl Sparks as president and CEO of Travelocity.
Sparks formerly was general manager of Hotels.com and before that was chief marketing officer at Expedia.
He leaves his post as president of Gilt Groupe, which owns flash sales site Jetsetter.
Sabre didn’t explicity cite the reasons for the move, and as a private company one can only speculate if the shakeup is tied to Travelocity’s performance.
