FC USA APPOINTS NATIONAL SALES LEADER, SALES DEVELOPMENT LEADER, AND DIRECTOR OF MARKETING
FC USA Inc. – the US arm of Australia’s Flight Centre Limited (FTL) – has appointed three new senior executives to its leadership team.
Charlene Leiss has been named National Sales Leader USA. In her new capacity Charlene will lead FC USA’s entire sales team and work directly with each of the sales team leaders. Additionally, Charlene will have responsibility for FC USA’s bid writing team.
National Leader for Flight Centre USA Corporate Brands, John Beauvais, said Charlene is an outstanding professional and has been our Top Business Development Manager for the USA the last two years in a row.
“Charlene has been working with the FCm team since prior to our acquisition of Garber and has made the transition to the Flight Centre world seamlessly. Her industry knowledge and business acumen are a powerful combination that will lead our sales team to ever higher performance.”
In addition, Cameron McLeod has been named Director of Sales and Sales Development. In his expanded role, Cam will be responsible for working with the Sales Support and Corporate Connections teams to ensure maximum efficiency across the company’s national and multinational sales efforts.
“Cam is a global award winning Business Development Manager and made the move to the USA from Australia after the purchase of Bannockburn Travel Management in 2006. He has accomplished much in the last six years and has a mastery of the USA TMS market, as well as our Flight Centre sales processes,” said John.
Finally, but not least significantly, Judy Fitzgerald, Director of Marketing, will also join FC USA’s senior corporate leadership team.
“In a short period of time Judy has distinguished herself as a first rate marketer. Although her to do list is long, her list of accomplishments is already impressive and making a significant positive impact on all of our corporate brands,” John added.
“This is an exciting time for our business and I look forward to working with our dynamic newly formed team to win more business and generate more profits for our company.”
