Global Travel Collection (GTC), the luxury and premium travel division
of the Internova group, has promoted Francesca Mendola to the role of global account
management director.
Since joining the group in 2012, Mendola has held various account management roles and previously worked in sales and
marketing for The Stafford and The Sloane Square hotels.
Meanwhile, Alexandra Habuc has been named GTC’s human resources director.
Jason Oshiokpekhai, GTC’s managing director in the UK, said: “In
the past year, both Internova Travel Group UK and GTC UK have undergone major
transformations during the most difficult period in our industry’s history.
We've nevertheless been able to grow our network of independent travel
advisors, add new client support and establish GTC UK as a standalone brand.
This success is owed in large part to the exceptional efforts of Francesca
Mendola and Alexandra Habuc, who will continue to drive positive change in
their new roles as directors."
The GTC division includes the travel management companies Protravel, Tzell and Colletts Travel in the UK.
