Holiday Extras has appointed Margaret Rice-Jones to the group board as non-executive director.
She is the company’s first board appointment following a management buy-out in May 2018.
She was chair of Skyscanner before its £1.4 billion acquisition in 2016 and will help Holiday Extras achieve its ‘ambitious growth plans’.
"This is an excellent time for me to join the new Holiday Extras board and help this innovative travel tech business reach its considerable potential," said Rice-Jones.
"This is a sector I know well from chairing Skyscanner pre-acquisition, and I’m looking forward to working with the bright, can-do leadership team at Holiday Extras to meet our target valuation of £300m-£500m over the next five years."
Holiday Extras Group CEO Matthew Pack added: "Margaret’s experience with technology and product innovation means she will bring exactly the complementary set of skills to the HX board that we were looking for. I’m looking forward to our business enjoying the benefit of her extensive experience of building similar technology businesses up to their true potential."
