Streichert joins Amadeus from the Vodafone Group, where he has been for 12 years, most recently as Group CFO and Executive Director of Vodacom, the Group’s publicly listed telecommunication subsidiary in South Africa. With more than 20 years’ experience in supporting high-profile financial and operational transformation programs, Streichert has deep expertise across financial strategy and business leadership, as well as revenue and profit growth in international environments. Streichert will report directly to Amadeus’ President and CEO Luis Maroto and will be based in Madrid.
