S4BT – Solutions for Business Travel is pleased to announce the appointment of Olivier Mouchet as the new Head of its Hotel Procurement & Chain Supply Division, succeeding Nicolas Besse. This division is a strategic cornerstone of the group, playing a key role in supporting corporate clients and delivering value through efficient and sustainable hotel solutions.

In his new role, Olivier Mouchet will build on the work started by Nicolas Besse, enhancing support for corporate clients in implementing and optimising their hotel programmes. The goal is clear: provide expert guidance to help clients achieve more efficient, sustainable and high-performing hotel procurement.

Olivier Mouchet brings nearly 30 years of experience in the hotel, business travel, and digital distribution sectors. He began his career at Louvre Hotels before joining Hotel Reservation Service (HRS), where he developed the French subsidiary and managed global partnerships, with a focus on business travel solutions. He later served as Chief Operating Officer at Châteaux & Hôtels Collection (now Territoria) and has also worked in hotel software and consulting, advising major groups such as Accor. His extensive background gives him deep insight into hotel operations, distribution channels and the business travel market.

“I am honoured to take the lead of this key division. I chose to join S4BT because the company holds a unique position in the market, with remarkable growth momentum and a clear vision under Ziad Minkara. S4BT’s strength lies both in its talented teams and its technological innovation. This combination is what makes the difference and motivates me to contribute to this journey, by enhancing client support and developing hotel solutions that are high-performing, sustainable and value-creating,” said Olivier Mouchet.

Nicolas Besse will remain in the group, taking on a new strategic role alongside Ziad Minkara, CEO of S4BT.
