Skift Take
Expedia Group has done some heavy lifting in recent years. But as CEO Peter Kern has said, the work is never over.
In a letter to employees — obtained by Skift — after the news broke that he'd be stepping down in May, Expedia Group CEO Peter Kern said there were times when he wasn't sure whether the multiyear reorganization of the company was going deep or fast enough.
During his four-year reign as CEO of Expedia Group, Peter Kern, led a major revamping of the company, pruning far-flung brands around the world, introducing big technology changes, consolidating marketing teams that sometimes worked at cross-purposes, and launching a revamped loyalty program.
Kern also guided the company through the pandemic.
