SOUTHLAKE, Texas, Sept. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Sabre Corporation
(NASDAQ: SABR), the leading software and technology company
that powers the global travel industry, today named Scott Wilson as president of Sabre Hospitality
Solutions, effective September 8.
Wilson joins Sabre from Great Wolf Resorts where he served as its
Chief Commercial Officer.
"We are thrilled to have Scott
Wilson join Sabre's executive leadership team at such an
important time for our Company. Scott brings twenty-five years of
experience leading strategic planning and key commercial activities
for large global organizations in both the hospitality and airline
industries, having spent several years at Marriott International,
United Airlines and most recently at Great Wolf Resorts," said
Sean Menke, Sabre's president and
CEO. "Scott has a strong background in innovation and his skillset
will serve us well as we continue to transform and scale Sabre's
hospitality business."
The Company also noted that its Hospitality Solutions business
continues to play an integral role in its transformational journey
to create a new market for personalized travel. Sabre has taken
deliberate steps to strengthen and grow its hospitality business
over the last several years. Earlier this year, the Company
announced it is working with Accor to establish a strategic
partnership. In collaboration with Accor, Sabre intends to develop
a new full-service property management capability, while also
enriching its existing central reservation and limited service
property management systems. Offering this innovative, combined
platform will allow Sabre to better meet the needs of enterprise
hoteliers and will enable the Company to grow its footprint in the
global enterprise hotel segment.
"I am excited to be joining Sabre at such a critical time in its
transformation. The travel industry itself is undergoing a major
shift and I believe Sabre is best-positioned to continue to grow
and scale its Hospitality business as our industry recovers and
travel returns to its new normal," said Wilson. "As a trusted
technology partner for many of the world's leading hotel brands,
serving over 40,000 properties on its central reservation system,
Sabre is on a mission to simplify and solve fragmentation in
hospitality technology and to significantly increase its total
addressable market by delivering a curated and personalized guest
experience. I look forward to being part of this team as it
delivers on that vision."
