Her elevated role will include supporting business growth and retention for GTC UK Advisors across entertainment, leisure and corporate travel markets as well as managing the day-to-day business.
GTC president Angie Licea said: “Jason and Francesca have contributed significantly to the growth of Global Travel Collection over the years and have been integral to the establishment and advancement of the Advisor Success Organisation.
“In their elevated roles, we are excited for the even stronger synergy between our US and UK divisions, and a greater sense of collaboration across the business. We remain dedicated to supporting our independent travel advisors to deliver the highest levels of service.”
