The Institute of Travel & Meetings (ITM) has appointed Mark Cuschieri as its next chairman.
Cuschieri is global travel lead at Swiss bank UBS, and ITM buyer board director. He will take over from KPMG’s Sarah Makings at the association’s annual conference in April.
Cuschieri, who has more than 20 years’ experience in business travel, said: “I will continue to work with the board, and CEO Simone Buckley, to ensure ITM remains an inclusive association that delivers important and invaluable resources.
ITM must continue to be a platform for collaboration between buyers and suppliers, ensuring the business travel community maintains its strong voice.”
ITM has also appointed new members to its board: Microsoft global travel category manager Olive Kavanagh, Capita group travel category manager Jon Bolger, and Steve Proud, EMEA travel manager and global commercial airline programme manager at Citi Shared Services.
