Former Wendy Wu Tours Australia GM Troy Ackerman joins Collette.
Guided tour operator Collette has revealed the appointment of Troy Ackerman to the role of Director of Strategic Partnerships on an 18-month contract.
The former Wendy Wu Tours (WWT) Australia GM has signed on to cover the absence of Amanda McCann, who is on maternity leave.
Ackerman’s new venture follows his shock departure from Wendy Wu last week after only four months in the position.
He becomes the second high-profile employee to join Collette from Wendy Wu, with James Hewlett having joined the tour operator in 2016 from WWT, where he was GM of Marketing and Product from 2014-2016.
