He joins Radisson Hotel Group from TeamSystem Group, a management software company in Italy. During his time there, he supervised the sale of the group from one private equity fund to another (Hellman & Friedman), which has given him a deep understanding of capital markets.

Amodeo will be based at Radisson Hospitality AB’s headquarters in Brussels. He will report directly to President & CEO Federico J. González-Tejera. Within EMEA, Amodeo will have responsibility for the Finance, Accounting, Group Tax, Internal Audit, as well as Group Controlling central teams.
