About

In the last 25 years, I have designed, positioned, marketed and operated organized travel experiences around the globe in all continents for adults of every age: coach tours, incentive events, river-, ocean and expedition cruises and self-guided products. I have successfully built and led international teams through rapid growth, restructuring, and consolidation. I have an unwavering focus on every aspect of the guest journey from booking to post-travel engagement.
