Two MDs appointed; founder steps down in October 2026
Travel Compositor, a provider of booking-engine technology and part of the Travelsoft group, has set out a leadership reshuffle aligned with Travelsoft’s expansion strategy. Founder and chief executive Manuel Aragonés, who has led the business for more than 12 years, will leave his executive role in October 2026 as part of a planned retirement. To ensure continuity, the board has named two managing directors, with the company framing the move as a carefully prepared evolution designed to consolidate international growth and long-term stability.
Miguel Ángel Garoz, currently Chief Financial Officer (CFO), and Gonzalo Salvador, Product Owner Leader (POL), have been appointed to the new roles. Garoz will take charge of Operations, Human Resources, Finance and Corporate Structure, while Salvador will lead Marketing, Product and Solutions Development. Both have worked alongside the founder for years and are presented as custodians of Travel Compositor’s DNA. The dual leadership aims to bring product strategy closer to operational execution to speed delivery and keep alignment with client needs, with a phased handover already under way over several months.
“This transition is not about changing the company’s course, but about reinforcing it. The accumulated knowledge, shared experience, and a common vision will guarantee the continuity of our values and our firm commitment to constant innovation, sustainable rapid growth, and the success of our clients,” said Aragonés. “Travel Compositor was born with the ambition to transform the way travel is sold, and that mission is more alive today than ever, shaping the future. The company now enters a new stage, backed by its greatest possible asset: a management team formed within our own culture of innovation, hard work, and an obsession for daily improvement,” he added.
In parallel, the group said Aragonés will also step down as chief executive of Travelsoft Services, the multiconsolidator platform launched in January 2024 as an evolution of the white-label consolidation model pioneered by Travel Compositor. The role will be assumed by Pedro Cámara, chief executive of Travelgate, one of the technology businesses within the Travelsoft group.
Based in Palma de Mallorca and active across dozens of markets, Travel Compositor says it is trusted by more than 600 travel brands worldwide. Travelsoft, founded in Paris in 2000, processes more than €50 billion in bookings each year for players in over 90 countries, supported by a team of more than 700 specialists and a dozen platforms including Orchestra, Traffics, Tigerbay, Travelgate and Travelsoft Pay.
