Walker will lead the in-house distribution team, which deals with more than 3,000 agents.
She said: “I couldn’t be more excited to join the easyJet holidays team. It’s a young company with big ambitions and it’s already making a mark on the industry, so I can’t wait to see what the future holds for the distribution team and our travel agent partners.”
Roy Stratford, easyJet holidays’ head of partnerships, said the trade had been “hugely important” to the operator in the past two years.
EasyJet Holidays has taken more than 130 agents away on eight fam trips, with more being planned.
