DAVID Lorimer, head of HRG Australia, is understood to be leaving the business in the wake of its acquisition by American Express Global Business Travel earlier this year (TD 20 Jul).
Lorimer was appointed as HRG General Manager last year (TD 06 Feb 2017), with his reports including former FCM senior exec Rob Dell, who joined HRG in Sep and whose Linkedin profile indicates he is now Amex GBT Head of Government and Enterprise Sales (TD 31 Aug).
GBT wasn’t able to confirm any changes, with a spokesperson telling TD detailed plans continue to be developed for the restructuring and/or integration of the combined businesses.
“As part of this we are evaluating synergies and this potentially involves some workforce reductions in certain duplicative functions within the combined group,” the firm said.
Any plans would be subject to “appropriate engagement” with impacted staff, Amex GBT added.
