The big changes for Avoya Travel Network keep on coming.

One week after announcing that Certares has taken on full ownership, Avoya Travel has appointed Marc Kazlauskas as its new CEO.

The current president of FROSCH and managing director of JPMorgan Chase & Co. brings years of invaluable experience to the new role, including 11 years as president and CEO of Insight Vacations in addition to senior executive positions at Tauck, Trafalgar and Orient Lines.

Kazlauskas will assume his new role effective August 4, with co-CEOs Jeff Anderson and Michael Anderson stepping down later this month.

"Marc brings decades of experience in the travel sector, and we’re confident his strategic vision will accelerate our collective success," Avoya said in a statement. "We’re grateful to Jeff Anderson and Michael Anderson, who helped build Avoya into an innovative leader in leisure travel. They’ll remain involved through mid-June to assist in the transition."

"The current executive leadership team will remain in place, with Phil Cappelli continuing as Chief Sales Officer and Mark Francone as Chief Financial Officer, ensuring consistency in vision and operational execution. This new chapter marks a period of renewed strength and focus for the company as it continues to innovate and grow within the travel industry."
