Carlson signs global Fiat deal

Thursday, 26 May 20053 min read

Carlson Wagonlit has signed a deal with Fiat to manage its worldwide travel arrangements.

The travel management giant said it will strive to save the vehicle manufacturer 15% over the next three years.

The deal follows a close relationship between the two firms in Italy where Carlson managed 70% of Fiat’s travel spend.

Liliana Frigerio, Carlson executive vice president global accounts and solutions group, said a performance-related strategy was key to the deal.

“Under our incentive-based approach our performance is rated directly according to the savings our clients achieve,” she said.

A joint steering committee will evaluate Carlson’s performance.
