Cheapflights digs in for the next step

Cheapflights has experienced a good deal of success in the past few years, and to keep the momentum going and expand into larger international territory, the company has done some shuffling and rearranging of its board.

CEO David Soskin will step down and assume the duties of vice-chairman, still remaining active on the board of directors. He will be replaced as CEO by Chris Cuddy, who will give up his position as Cheapflights Group Managing Director. Soskin commented on the situation by saying, “As an entrepreneur with experience in successfully building early stage businesses, I recognise that Cheapflights has now grown into not only an international business, but also one of a size that requires a different style of management.

When bringing Chris on board, it was clear that his technology background, his experience with major US dotcoms and leadership abilities would be of enormous benefit to the Company. Several years on, Chris has amply justified our decision. I am confidently turning over my role - and Cheapflights - into the safest of hands as the Company enters a new era.”
