Travelport is a UK-based multi-billion-dollar organisation, who provide solutions across the travel sector, and considered one of the largest GDS (Global Distribution Systems) for this sector worldwide.

COVID impacted every sector, but with travel banned globally at the height of the pandemic, travel and tourism were amongst those most affected – including Travelport and its client/customer base. In this insightful case study, Amar Farooq, Senior Director, and Deputy Group Treasurer at Travelport, will give an insight into how he – and the treasury function – realigned priorities, shaped policies, engaged the right stakeholders and took broader financial control to help Travelport navigate through this difficult time. This session will focus on what worked, what didn’t, and lessons which can be learned to prepare for the next major crisis.
