This week: Lovell is leaving Travel Leaders Network; TTAND is tops at TLN; FAM winners discover Nevada; and Tully’s Crystal vision.
Travel Leaders Network
John Lovell, President of Travel Leaders Network is leaving the company at the end of June for a new opportunity with a cruise line partner. Since joining the company in 2002, Lovell has held several leadership positions. He will be replaced Sr. VP and COO Lindsay Pearlman, who joined the company in 2019 to work with international partners and later took on responsibility for managing relationships with Associate members. He previously served as Co-President of Ensemble Travel Group and held executive roles at American Express.
“John Lovell has made a lasting impact,” said J.D. O’Hara, CEO of Internova Travel Group, one of the world’s largest travel services companies. “His commitment to supporting travel advisors and agencies has been key to solidifying our role as an industry leader. His legacy of compassion and service will continue to inspire us. While we will miss him, I know that everyone at Internova wishes John success in his new role.”
