Former Sabre CEO Tom Klein has been named managing partner
and member of the management committee for Certares Management.
Klein left Sabre at the end of 2016 after a summer
announcement that he planned to resign to "turn my personal attention to
new opportunities."
At Certares, he joins the leadership of founder and managing
partner Greg O'Hara, managing partner Colin Farmer and senior partners J.D. O'Hara
and Henry Briance.
"Tom's experience, relationships and insights will
enable us to continue to identify great investment opportunities which expand
our investment platform and extend the trust we have built with our affiliated
companies and with our investors," Greg O'Hara said in a statement.
Certares' investments in
the travel space include American Express Global Business Travel, Travel
Leaders Group, AmaWaterways and Marietton Development.
