Amadeus' Aaron Ritoper to head SkyScanner sales team.

LONDON (PRWEB) December 16, 2006 -- SkyScanner, Europe's leading flight search engine, today announces the appointment of Aaron Ritoper to the newly created position of Head of Global Sales. Reporting to Barry Smith, Co-Founder and Director, Business Development, Ritoper will be tasked with driving global sales, acquiring new clients and increasing revenue growth in all of SkyScanner's new, geographic markets.

Ritoper joins from Amadeus where he was the Head of Consulting Services for the e-Travel division.

As SkyScanner looks to expand globally we needed to create an overall head of sales role to serve as the company's key contact for major international partners and clients. Aaron's unrivalled experience from Amadeus and deep understanding of online travel services and solutions certainly means he's the best man for the job.
