Former head of Cruise.co.uk’s luxury and expedition agency Elaine Ross has joined Cruise Nation as its global product and partnerships manager.
Ross left Above & Beyond in March after her role was made redundant by Cruise.co.uk. Prior to joining the Redditch-based agency business, Ross was director of commercial relationships at travel tech firm P&P Group Limited and head of commercial at Iglu.
Cruise Nation owner Phil Evans said Ross will help “shape the future” of Cruise Nation, working “closely with our valued suppliers to enhance our product offerings and cultivate mutually beneficially relationships”.
He added: “[Ross’s] strategic vision and collaborative spirit will undoubtedly help us chart a course toward new horizons and unlock exciting opportunities for all involved.
“Her dedication to excellence and commitment to forging strong partnerships makes her a valuable addition to our crew.”
Ross told TTG: "I’m really excited to embark on my journey with Phil, Andrea [Kendal, commercial director] and the fantastic team at Cruise Nation.
"There is huge potential and opportunity in the business, building on the strong partnerships already in place and further increasing Cruise Nation’s product portfolio."
