“One A&K” strategy establishes new global positions connecting A&K and Crystal across the world.
A&K Travel Group has just reconfirmed the appointment of Debra Fox as Managing Director of A&K Australasia, with additional responsibilities as Executive Vice President of Trade Sales Asia Pacific for A&K and Crystal.
The move is part of a wide-ranging strategy to establish a centralised leadership team, including the creation of a new Chief Sales Officer global role for both the A&K and Crystal Cruises brands, which will be filled by US-based Marett Taylor, reporting to CEO Cristina Levis.
Amy Weyman has been appointed as Managing Director for A&K USA in addition to her role as Executive GP of Marketing for USA; Chief Legal and People Officer Kim Berman also becomes Managing Director of Crystal’s office in Florida; and A&K Travel Group CFO Andrew Burrett will add Managing Director for A&K UK to his responsibilities.
The local structure will see Fox supported by Tony Archbold who remains in his current role as Vice President of Sales for Crystal Cruises APAC, while Susan Haberle has been named Vice President of Sales & Partnerships for A&K APAC. Ann-Marie Chapman is now Vice President Customer Sales & Operations APAC, with Michelle Mickan becoming Vice President Marketing A&K and Crystal Australasia.
