ATPCO has revealed it has appointed industry veteran Ritchie Ramsamy to join the company’s leadership team as the new regional director of sales, APAC.

He will be tasked to work with its partners in the region, expanding ATPCO’s contributions towards modern airline retailing, and solidifying its market presence in key areas, such as China and India. 

Ramsamy will support delivery of innovation, transformation, and simplification. He will focus on the growth of ATPCO’s marquee products such as Architect, Routehappy, Branded Fares and the company's newly acquired 3Victors data products.
