Amadeus named Decius Valmorbida president of its travel unit in August 2020. A native of Brazil, Valmorbida originally joined Amadeus in 2004 and has been a member of its executive committee since 2017. He spoke on Tuesday with The Company Dime during a live interview on the LinkedIn Audio platform. Among other topics, he responded to assessments of the strengths and weaknesses of Amadeus and global distribution system providers generally; revealed thinking on opening up the Amadeus platform to customization by travel management companies; acknowledged travel managers’ concerns that personalization means higher fares; recognized significant diversity across the corporate landscape in the context of the market strategy for online booking tools, particularly Amadeus’ Cytric; and took a thinly veiled jab at ERP provider SAP, parent of Concur.
