Strategic Development Manager USA at Imagine Cruising

Swindon, England, United Kingdom

Overview

Elle is the Vice President of USA Business Development at Imagine Cruising, where she leads market expansion with a "people first" approach. With a background in sales, she excels at providing market-focused insights and building collaborative, cross-functional teams. She has extensive international experience, having launched and managed operations in the UK, South Africa, and Australia.

Her passion for the travel industry began at a young age, prompting her to study travel and tourism in college. This interest extends beyond her career, as she has a history of taking personal risks, such as moving to new countries with little more than a suitcase and a vague plan to start new ventures from scratch.

Unique fact: Elle has worked alongside the same leader, Robin Deller, for her entire 21-year career, a rare testament to her loyalty and professional partnership.
