Mark Meehan will take on an expanded portfolio as managing director of Travelport’s newly-formed Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa (APACMEA) region.

Meehan has built a distinguished career at Travelport, having been successful in a range of high-profile global and regional roles over his 19-year tenure with the company.

Before his time in Africa, Meehan was senior vice president of global operations at Travelport, charged with driving excellence in customer service across the business. He also held the role of vice president of finance and acquisition, where he led the integration of several businesses acquired in countries including the United Kingdom, Italy and Denmark.

In his new role, Meehan will focus on bringing greater alignment across Travelport’s operations in Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa; high growth territories that share commonalities in customer needs and operational delivery. 

While he will continue to be based in Singapore, he will also regularly work from Travelport’s office in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, which acts as the company’s sub-regional headquarters for the Middle East and Africa.
