Hugo Burge became Chief Executive Officer of Cheapflights Media, now Momondo Group, in May 2011. Hugo was part of the investor group that bought the Cheapflights UK business from John Hatt, the Founder, in March 2000.

Hugo has held a variety of roles at the Group, including leading the 2003 launch of Cheapflights US which has become the company’s largest business. In March 2011 he also led the acquisition of the much-praised Danish meta-search site network, momondo.
