Amadeus has appointed Sandeep Dwivedi to oversee its commercial activities with travel sellers across India and the rest of the subcontinent, the company announced.
Dwivedi—a longtime executive with InterGlobal Technology Quotient, which distributes Travelport in the region—now is Amadeus' managing director for travel sellers in India. That responsibility previously fell to Ramona Bohwongprasert, Amadeus' SVP for travel sellers across the Asia-Pacific region as well inside sales and startups in Southeast Asia. Bohwongprasert will continue to oversee Amadeus' commercial activities with travel sellers in Southeast Asia and will now be responsible for inside sales and startups across the full Asia-Pacific region.
Amadeus EVP for the travel unit and managing director for the Asia-Pacific region Javier Laforgue in a statement said the change comes amid a "rapid pace" of growth for India's travel industry.
"We are excited to bring Sandeep onboard as he is a trusted leader that understands the vision of Amadeus in India and the subcontinent," according to Laforgue. "We have been present in the region for over two decades, and this appointment further underscores our commitment to serving the technology needs of the travel industry there."
