Comments | 0

CHANGES are afoot at

Amadeus Southern

Africa as Peter Long

has stepped down as general

manager for the region “for

personal reasons”, the

technology company told TNW.

Peter started at Amadeus in

2003 as executive manager

for sales and marketing after a

successful career in the travel

industry working for companies

such as SAA, American

Express Travel Services, SATC

Indo Jet, Pebble Resorts and

Carlson Wagonlit Travel. In

2007 he was appointed gm of

Amadeus Southern Africa.

Immanuel Banza has taken

over the reins as acting gm

Southern Africa while Amadeus

completes the process of

appointing Peter’s successor.

Immanuel has over 30

years’ experience in the

travel industry. He was one

of the key people who set up

Amadeus in Zimbabwe and

was appointed gm of Amadeus

Zimbabwe in 2002. In 2008

Immanuel moved to head

up sales in Southern Africa.

In 2012, he then moved to

Amadeus’s customer services

area, heading up training,

account management, the

customer service centre

and IT. At the beginning of

this year, he took on a new

challenge to manage the

strategic relationship with key

customers in Southern Africa.

“We wish Peter all the best

for the future,” Amadeus said.

“It is very much business as

usual. We will continue to

deliver the highest level of

service to our customers and

partners across Southern

Africa.
