Expedia group's hotel content through over 10,000 leading global and

held the role of General Manager for Qantas Holidays, which saw him
take responsibility for strategy, e-Commerce and IT for the brand.

offices, to meet as many of the team as possible and hear their ideas
on the business.

"I couldn't be happier to join the Expedia Affiliate Network (EAN)
team and apply my passion for travel, technology, business and
eCommerce in a B2B context. During my time with the Expedia group,
I've heard great things about the talent and culture within EAN,
particularly the customer-focused outlook, the forward-thinking
attitude and the dedicated approach to achieving strategic
objectives. This will be a fantastic opportunity to build on EAN's
success with its ambitious, energetic and driven team."
