SEATTLE, May 11, 2026 - Expedia Group today announced that Alfonso Paredes has been appointed President, B2B &
Chief Commercial Officer, Expedia Group, assuming leadership of the company’s unified B2B and Supply organization.
The move brings Expedia Group’s global supply, partner distribution, and commercial platform teams under a single
leader as the company continues to strengthen alignment across its marketplace, platform, and partner strategy.
In his expanded role, Paredes will oversee Expedia Group’s global supply organization, spanning hotels, vacation
rentals, air, activities, car rental, and insurance, serving both the company’s consumer brands and its growing
network of partners. He will continue leading the company’s fast-growing B2B business.
The new structure is designed to create tighter alignment across supply strategy, partner distribution, and commercial
execution, enabling Expedia Group to operate more cohesively across its global marketplace and better serve partners
across its platform.
“Alfonso has helped build our B2B business into a significant growth engine for Expedia Group while expanding the
capabilities we offer partners across our platform,” said Ariane Gorin. “As the travel ecosystem becomes increasingly
connected, bringing these teams together positions us to operate more cohesively across our marketplace, deepen
collaboration with partners, and accelerate growth across our global platform.”
“Our ambition is to make Expedia Group the most effective platform connecting travel supply with global demand,” said
Alfonso Paredes. “By bringing Supply and B2B together, we can simplify how partners work with us, move faster across
the marketplace, and create more opportunities for partners to grow through our technology, distribution, and supply
network.”
Under Paredes’ leadership since 2021, Expedia Group’s B2B business has expanded beyond its historical wholesale roots
into a more comprehensive travel platform. Partners can now access hotels, vacation rentals, activities, car rental,
insurance, payments, and media capabilities through a single integration layer.
As part of the leadership transition, Greg Schulze will depart the company following a transition period after more
than two decades in senior leadership roles across Expedia Group’s global Supply organization. Schulze will continue
serving on the board of Traveloka on behalf of Expedia Group.
“Greg has played an important role in building Expedia Group’s global supply network,” Gorin said. “He’s built
longstanding partner relationships, and we’re deeply grateful for his leadership and contributions over the past two
decades.”
