Obletz Named President, Delaware North Travel

Delaware North has named James Obletz president of its travel division, where he’ll be responsible for providing oversight and strategic direction for the company’s portfolio of 24 airports throughout North America.

Obletz previously was the company’s senior vice president of corporate development, leading Delaware North’s growth and strategic investment efforts across all its subsidiaries in the travel, sports, gaming, parks and resorts, and international sectors, including the 2019 acquisition of Creative Food Group, which added more than 30 restaurants across five airports to the company’s portfolio.

Prior to joining Delaware North in August 2016, Obletz was an executive director in the investment banking division at J.P. Morgan, and also held other banking positions.

Obletz replaces Kevin Kelly, who left the company in August 2019. Scott Socha, president of Delaware North’s parks and resorts business, was leading the travel division on an interim basis.
