Karen Deveson leaving Helloworld to pursue a new opportunity.
Helloworld has just announced the appointment of Steve Brady as its new Group General Manager Cruise.
He takes over from Karen Deveson, who took on the role in June last year, with Chief Commercial Officer Cinzia Burnes thanking Deveson for “the work she has done in difficult circumstances as cruise was just re-starting”.
Brady’s new cruise leadership position at Helloworld will encompass retail and wholesale including sales, marketing and operations as well as commercial. The company will now seek to fill his current position as GM Sales within Helloworld wholesale.
“Cruise is an incredibly important area of the Helloworld business and along with the recent acquisition of Creative Cruising, the opportunities to maximise the Group’s land content to be packaged up with cruise voyages are endless,” according to Burnes.
She confirmed that Cruiseco and Creative Cruising would continue to operate as separate wholesale brands, while still “maximising synergies behind the scenes with the intent to provide the best outcome for the agents”.
