Globus family of brands is expanding its Canadian sales team, hiring travel industry veteran Gina Goranson and sales professional Elaine French as business development managers (BDMs) for Vancouver Island and Lower Mainland as well as Southwest Ontario, respectively.

Reporting to senior director of sales Denise Harper, Goranson and French are charged with building and maintaining travel partner relationships while growing regional sales for Globus, Cosmos and Avalon Waterways.

“Built on a foundation of education, awareness, integrity and trust, we’re dedicated to reinforcing our sales and trade relationships across Canada,” said Harper. “Gina and Elaine will help us do just that. On the heels of unveiling a new trade brand campaign, advisor portal and education platform, we’re well-poised to grow our roots and business across Canada.”

Goranson boasts a robust background in the travel industry space – including five years at Collette Tours, while French has extensive experience in customer service.

“Advisors are at heart of everything we do,” said Harper. “As partners, we’re not only dedicated to providing them a one-stop-shop for every way in the world to experience the world, but we’re in the privileged position of also delivering more ‘wow’ across the globe, one client at a time.”
