Avoya Travel has announced the appointment of Karl Treier as chief technology officer (CTO). In this newly established C-suite role, Treier will lead Avoya’s IT and product development teams, driving innovation across the company’s technology platforms and aligning its digital strategy with long-term business growth.
Treier’s appointment marks a pivotal moment as Avoya continues to position technology as a core pillar of its strategic vision for 2026 and beyond. His leadership will focus on strengthening Avoya’s infrastructure, enhancing platform scalability, and advancing the tools and systems that power independent agencies.
“Technology has always been central to Avoya’s success, and Karl’s expertise brings tremendous value to our organization,” said Marc Kazlauskas, CEO of Avoya Travel. “His proven ability to connect innovation with business outcomes will play a vital role as we continue to evolve our platforms, elevate the advisor experience, and set new standards for how travelers connect with our travel advisor community.”
Treier joins Avoya with over 20 years of executive technology leadership and a strong track record of building scalable systems and high-performing teams. Before joining Avoya, he spent eight years with RSM’s private equity consulting team, where he specialized in Tech M&A advisory and guided businesses through large-scale digital transformations.
He has also served as CTO for multiple organizations, across diverse verticals, bringing deep expertise in product architecture, systems integration, and agile development. Known for his approachable leadership style and technical clarity, Treier is as comfortable in a code editor or in the server room as he is in the boardroom, a skill he attributes to his career that has encompassed every conceivable software development role, as well as time spent as a technical trainer.
“Avoya’s commitment to innovation and its vision for the future of travel technology are what drew me here,” said Treier. “I’m excited to help accelerate Avoya’s digital transformation and lead the teams that are building the next generation of tools for our advisors, partners, and travelers.”
