Welcome to John Mangelaars, our new CEO
We’re pleased to announce that we’ve appointed Microsoft veteran and former Travix International CEO John Mangelaars as our new CEO, following an extensive international search.
John will replace Moshe Rafiah, who has been splitting his time as CEO between both Skyscanner and Travelfusion, the company he founded over 20 years ago. Moshe will return to Travelfusion, but he’ll remain on Skyscanner’s Board as Vice Chair, a role he has held since 2019.
Of the appointment, Moshe commented:
“Skyscanner has become my second home since stepping in as CEO in June last year, but I feel highly confident in handing over the reins to John. He has a deep knowledge of the travel industry and over 30 years’ experience in multinational corporations. John has a proven track record of scaling e-commerce businesses and he is also a clear cultural fit, with a strong focus on people.
