Omio appoints Jan Kemper as Managing Director & CFO

Europe’s leading travel platform expands management team as it focuses on growth ambitions

Berlin, March 14, 2019: Omio , Europe’s leading booking platform for travel by train, bus and flight, is expanding its management team with the appointment of Dr. Jan Kemper, former CFO of Zalando and ProSiebenSat.1, to Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

Kemper (39) was Senior VP Finance / CFO of the Berlin-based online fashion retailer Zalando for seven years, where he contributed significantly to the growth of the company and successfully led its IPO. In 2017, he moved to the former DAX30 member ProSiebenSat.1, where he successfully led Finance, M&A and, most recently, the Commerce segment. He will take up his new role at Omio on April 1, 2019.

For Omio, which recently rebranded from GoEuro, strengthening the management team is an important step in its global growth strategy. In his new role Jan will play a crucial role in building and strengthening corporate structures to support this growth.

Naren Shaam, CEO and Founder of GoEuro, said:

“We’re thrilled to have Jan join our management team. It is rare to have the opportunity for someone of his caliber to join us and I’m personally happy to have his support in helping build a global company and ultimately change transport for the better.”

Jan Kemper said:

“I look forward to putting all my energy and experience into helping Naren and the entire Omio team propel the next stage of growth. Together, we want to make Omio a truly global company; it’s already a huge success story, but we’re just at the beginning.”

Omio recently outlined its vision to transform the travel industry by bringing transport into one simple product, driven by consumer demand and needs, and eventually eliminating the need for multiple transactions within one journey.
