Areka Consulting's Michael Silvey
Michael Silvey has joined Areka Consulting as VP consulting for the Americas.
Silvey was previously with BCD Travel where he spent time as both a director in its energy, marine and oil division and as director of business intelligence and technology consulting. He also spent time at its consulting arm Advito, where he was head of traveller engagement and demand management.
Louise Miller, a fellow BCD veteran who joined Areka in 2018 as managing partner for the Americas, said: “As buyers shift from managing travel to justifying it, stakeholder engagement is crucial, and I am thrilled that Michael has joined us to help strengthen our offerings for global customers. His extensive experience in technology, global operations and traveller engagement is already proving to be invaluable for clients.”
“Our new traveller advisory council will add insights for the first time – not only about journey management but trip purpose from an independent traveller perspective, adding further understanding to supplement the interviews we would normally carry out with stakeholders during an engagement,” said Silvey.
