Directravel Holdings Inc. last month named John Coffman CFO.

Coffman worked for years with CEO Ed Adams as they built Navigant International into one of the largest travel management companies in the United States before it was acquired in 2006 by Carlson Wagonlit Travel. Coffman remained at CWT, ultimately as a vice president of finance responsible for global mergers and acquisitions. A Directravel press statement credited him with work on more than 80 corporate travel acquisitions. Adams in 2011 lured Directravel chief technology officer Darryl Hoover, also formerly of Navigant, from CWT.
