Signature Travel Network has created a luxury sales development
program to help expand its luxury business with the likes of training, events
and marketing.
The program is being spearheaded by executive vice president
Ignacio Maza.
"With Ignacio's leadership, Signature will create the
training programs, marketing, communications and events that will accelerate
our growth, help us get to the next level in the luxury travel space, and
strengthen our base of luxury travel consultants," CEO Alex Sharpe said.
Luxury is Signature's fastest-growing segment, according to
Sharpe.
In addition, Signature appointed Richard Lebowitz as senior
vice president for its hotel and resort program. He is based in the company's
New York office and will report to Sharpe.
Lebowitz has previously held positions with Hyatt Hotels
& Resorts.
