Following the succession from Peter Kern to Ariane Gorin, Expedia Group appoints Alfonso Paredes as President of Private Label Solutions and Greg Schulze as President of Travel Partners and Media
Expedia Group has announced the appointment of Alfonso Paredes as President of Private Label Solutions and Greg Schulze as President of Travel Partners and Media, creating two new operating divisions within the Company.
Ariane Gorin, current Expedia for Business president, scheduled to take over as CEO of Expedia Group in May, said, “Alfonso and Greg are proven leaders with global experience and deep travel partner relationships across the industry. Their experience is ideal for these new divisions, and I’m confident they will continue to advance our company’s mission and deliver exceptional value to partners and travelers.”
Alfonso Paredes has been with Expedia Group for over 14 years and has played a pivotal role in the growth of the Private Label Solutions business, leading the commercial operation and consistently expanding into various global regions. Under his leadership, the business has surged, including partnerships with financial institutions, travel companies and global loyalty programs.
Meanwhile, Greg Schulze brings nearly 20 years of experience with Expedia Group and serves as a board member of the U.S. Travel and Tourism Advisory Board and Traveloka. His experience also includes building partnerships across all travel verticals, something that Expedia Group has been strongly focusing on to strengthen relationships with travel companies while accelerating the growth of its advertising business.
“Expedia Group has a rich history of powering the industry and partners around the world. Our Private Label Solutions team has been at the forefront of that innovation, and I look forward to bringing more value to partners as our marketplace and technology continues to evolve,” said Alfonso Paredes.
Greg Schulze commented, “I am thrilled to lead the Travel Partners and Media division. We continue to deliver value to partners by bringing all of Expedia Group’s capabilities to them, including the most valuable media network in travel. With unmatched global inventory that reaches high-value travelers, we are positioned to drive meaningful impact in the travel industry.”
As Expedia Group adapts to changes in the travel industry, the appointment of these long-time company veterans brings with it a strategic approach to leveraging worldwide opportunities – with experience across Asia, Europe, Latin America, and North America – to benefit travellers, partners, and shareholders.
