Cheapflights plans European expansion

Following the transition to Hugo Burge as CEO, the company is pleased to move forward with growth internally as well as expansion throughout Europe via the addition of Momondo.com.

“We’re very excited at what lies ahead. Given our expansion through our partnership with Momondo and the fact that our operational focus will be more Europe-centric, we’ve had some significant internal promotions as well as a new senior appointment to drive us forwards,” says Hugo Burge, Chairman and CEO of Cheapflights Media.

Joining the company will be Don Wong as its new Director of User Acquisition. Wong comes to Cheapflights with over 16 years commercial experience in the Digital Marketing and Marcoms world. He will be a key member of the newly established Commercial Team, which is to be headed by company veteran Mo Bulbrook.

To round out the Commercial Team, the company has promoted Sarah Hanan, its UK Head of Sales to lead all of Europe as well as Australia. She teams with Evan Weisenfeld, newly named Head of North America Sales. Promotions have also taken place within the newsletter team with the appointment of Yogesh Sharma to Global Head of Newsletter. Francesca Ecsery, previous Head of Global Sales, has left the Company to seek new challenges after a successful four year period with the Company. She will be missed but has left a great legacy within the Company.
