Goway has named Dean Moore as the company’s new Chief Executive Officer, marking a new chapter for founder Bruce Hodge, who will remain as President and Chairman and continue to oversee Goway’s subsidiary corporate travel division, Globespan Travel Management.
Hodge, who celebrated his 80th birthday with members of the travel industry in 2023, also intends to devote more time to philanthropy and defining Goway’s legacy and his own remarkable 55-plus years of globetrotting.
Having joined Toronto-based Goway as COO a year ago, Moore’s achievements during his short tenure have included delivering double-digit growth, significantly streamlining operations, and transforming company technology systems.
Moore will now lead all Goway’s North American operations, as well as a new portfolio comprising subsidiary companies Across Australia (Sydney) and INA Prime (Manila).
A veteran of over 25 years in the travel industry, Moore has worked in the UK, continental and northern Europe, the US, and Canada, including holding senior executive positions at MyTravel Group, Thomas Cook’s North American division, and itravel2000.
“Dean shares my ambitious vision for Goway as the leading tailor-made travel company for globetrotters,” says Hodge. “He has helped move the needle dramatically through his tenacious leadership and rigorous commitment to driving results. Our leadership board and I feel we have found exactly the person to propel Goway into the future.”
Says Moore: “In a very short time I’ve been incredibly impressed by the passion, dedication, and performance of Goway’s teams around the globe. It’s truly our people that will define our success in this era of technological change. It’s a privilege to continue leading Goway on our journey as the leader in tailor-made travel.”
