  • Promotion to CFO of long-standing leader Christoph Dieterle, with proven financial expertise, directly supports the Company’s next phase of AI-first international expansion and business diversification.
  • Transition supports ambitious new multi-year targets to reach over 13 million Prime members and surpass €270 million in Cash EBITDA by fiscal year 2030.

eDreams ODIGEO (the “Company” or “eDO”) (BME: EDR) (OTC: EDDRF), the world’s leading travel subscription company, announces the appointment of a new CFO to support its global expansion and long-term strategic roadmap and vision.

Christoph Dieterle, currently serving as Chief Retail and Product Officer, has been promoted to Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Having joined eDO through the acquisition of budgetplaces.com in 2017, Dieterle has a profound depth of financial and strategic expertise. He previously served as Chief Financial Officer and later Chief Executive Officer of budgetplaces.com and has held senior finance management roles at the Expedia Group, bringing deep experience in the online travel sector’s financial dynamics, notably in accommodation, a high-growth area for eDO. His unique combination of financial discipline and technological product expertise makes him exceptionally well positioned to optimise eDO’s investment decisions in the age of AI, driving value accretion and supporting the target of over €270 million in Cash EBITDA by fiscal year 2030.

Following a successful transitional year in fiscal year 2026, eDO is now entering a high-conviction phase of its multi-year growth plan to become a global, all-travel subscription platform. With the objective of exceeding 13 million Prime members by fiscal year 2030 from the current 7.9 million, the Company has aligned its leadership structure to accelerate its key growth engines:

  • The continued scaling of its pioneering subscription model;
  • Geographic expansion into new international territories;
  • Diversification into new travel verticals;
  • Deepened integration of proprietary agentic AI to service the entire traveller journey

This appointment follows the personal decision of long-serving Chief Financial Officer, David Elizaga, to step down from his role to pursue a new professional venture. eDO will retain his services as Elizaga will continue to serve as a non-executive member of the Board of Directors, ensuring his extensive experience remains available to the Company. eDO is sincerely thankful for his contribution to the Company’s success and transformation into a global subscription business and wishes him every success in his future endeavours.

Dana Dunne, Chief Executive Officer at eDreams ODIGEO, commented: “As we begin fiscal year 2027, our focus is absolute: to scale higher and farther. We have spent the last years building a formidable foundation, and in Christoph we have the ideal leader to turn our long-term vision into a reality. His combined expertise in global finance, product scaling, and AI-led operations will ensure we continue to prosper, own the entire traveller journey and deliver exceptional, lasting value to our 13 million future members and our shareholders. Personally and on behalf of the Board, I would also like to extend my deepest gratitude to our outgoing leader, David. He has been an instrumental architect of our success and transformation, and I wish him the very best as he embarks on his next chapter.”
