During the company’s recent call to report its Q1 2024 financial figures, Ekert said the results “exceeded expectations,” with quarterly revenue of $783 million. 

A year into taking up the CEO role at Sabre, the metrics are going in the right direction for Kurt Ekert. Revenue is up alongside EBITDA in the first quarter, and all the business units are reporting gains.

But more than that, as Sabre continues to execute on its growth strategy Ekert sees significant opportunity for further growth across hotel and air distribution as well as Sabre's payments and IT solutions business units.

In a broad ranging interview with PhocusWire, Ekert discussed the current mood of the distribution landscape, advances in new distribution capability and how penetration might grow in 2024 and the move to "offer and order" sales.
