Trivago Gets New CEO and Leadership
Travel metasearch company Trivago said on Tuesday that Johannes Thomas had become CEO and Managing Director, succeeding Axel Hefer, as the company struggles to return to its pre-IPO glory days.
Thomas began at Trivago as an intern and rose to become the company's chief revenue officer, with a specialty in business operations and strategy.
Other executive changes include included Jasmine Ezz becoming chief marketing officer and Andrej Lehnert becoming chief product officer.
At $1.20 a share on Tuesday, Trivago is in danger of seeing its share price go below $1 and becoming de-listed if it doesn't turn around its financial trajectory.
