Zara Higgins
Travel management company ATPI is restructuring the management team for its energy division, which will be headed by Zara Higgins.
Higgins, who has been ATPI’s general manger for Scotland since July 2023, takes up the newly created role of head of energy.
She will be supported by Judy Peplinski, known as JP, who is being promoted to become ATPI’s head of global strategy for the energy division.
Peplinski is currently US managing director for energy travel – this role will be taken up by Ettienne de Swardt, who moves up from his current position as senior director of sales and account management of North America.
“These leadership changes mark a significant step in ATPI’s strategy to further develop and expand its energy division, one of the company's key service lines,” explained the TMC in a statement.
“ATPI continues to see substantial growth across this key market. Through this restructuring and the establishment of these new positions, ATPI will capitalise on the strengths and dynamic leadership of each newly appointed individual.”
ATPI’s CEO Ian Sinderson added: “Zara, JP and Ettienne embody the values that ATPI holds dearly and have demonstrated invaluable leadership qualities and a dedication to supporting not just customers but their colleagues too.
“We’re fortunate to have these incredibly experienced and versatile individuals within our team. They all bring something unique to their roles that will benefit our customers no matter the location or industry.”
