American Express Global Business Travel has appointed Martin Ferguson as director of communications and public affairs EMEA.
The travel management company said Ferguson will serve as a key member of the EMEA management team, working closely with Joanna Macleod, SVP global service delivery, and Elyes Mrad, managing director, EMEA.
Ferguson was editor of Buying Business Travel and Air & Business Travel News before heading up the corporate communications team in EMEA for Sabre Holdings.
In 2010, Ferguson also co-founded The People Awards, which recognise and reward the best people working in the UK business travel industry.
Mrad said: "With major investment in technology and a strategic acquisition plan, GBT is entering an exciting period of change and growth.
“This against the backdrop of geo-political and economic uncertainly means it is crucial to have high-caliber, strategic communicators on board."
