Online travel company Wotif today announced Scott Blume will be taking over as CEO once Robbie Cooke steps down in the new year to head Tatts Group.

Born in Sydney, Blume’s resume comes heavy-laden with Asian experience. Since November 2011 he’s been the CEO of RKI Group, an Indonesian travel company. Before that he ran his own consulting business in Singapore.

Brisbane-based Wotif operates across Asia (under a couple of different names), and has offices in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Bangkok, London and Phuket.
