Abacus counts on CEO Bailey
SINGAPORE -Travel facilitator Abacus International has appointed Robert Bailey as its president and CEO, with effect from April 14.
Bailey’s experience includes six years with telecommunications and IT services company SITA. He also spent 11 years with Galileo International, and was most recently senior VP and managing director at ITSMA.
Current president and CEO, Don Birch, announced last year he would step down in 2008 after six years with the company. He said Bailey’s experience would be an asset to the company.
“Robert will bring a fresh perspective and new energy to the role as Abacus continues to further build its leadership role in the industry.”
Bailey said he looked forward to building upon Abacus’ partnership with Asian travel agents established under Birch.
“Abacus has made excellent progress by not just offering strong travel content, but also encouraging and empowering travel agents to tackle the challenges posed by new distribution technologies and the changing airline landscape, which many are doing with great success,” said Bailey.
