Accelya, a leading global provider of technology solutions to the travel industry, has announced the appointment of Funda Saltuk Stoica as its new Chief Human Resources Officer.
Funda is based in the UK and will be responsible for developing and executing Accelya’s human resource strategy, as the company continues to deliver innovation and game-changing solutions to the global airline and travel industry.
With over 30 years of experience in leading HR in technology-focused businesses, Funda joins Accelya from Deltatel where she was Head of IoT (Internet of Things), Smart Business Solutions, and Interim Head of Marketing.
During her career, Funda has led large-scale projects to hire technology talent and created offshore global services and development hubs.
Funda spent her early career at Alcatel Lucent, where she held HR responsibility for the EMEA region, before joining international software and data management business Veeam as its Chief Human Resources Officer.

The move comes as Accelya prepares to launch its state-of-the-art ‘Centre of Excellence’ in Pune, India – designed to accelerate the digital transformation of the airline business through industrializing NDC adoption and modernizing airline retailing with One Order.
The new facility will initially host up to 500 of the world’s leading airline technology talent.
