Yapta, the airfare price-drop tracking company, tracked down a new CEO as it continues a pivot toward the corporate travel market.
James Filsinger started in his CEO role at Yapta this week, replacing interim CEO Ken Myer, who filled in after then-CEO Tom Romary left the company for Rearden Commerce late last year.
Filsinger spent more than a decade at Sabre, including a stint as vice president of new business ventures; served as CEO of a Sabre and Amadeus travel-payment joint venture; and most recently was general manager of TravelClick's channel management operation after heading up EZYield, a hotel distribution company sold to TravelClick in 2011.
