Corporate Travel Management has added four new leaders to its North America business development team, including a senior executive who will lead the travel management company’s enterprise and small and medium-sized client sales in the region.
Linda Shevlin—who was with CWT for more than 12 years, most recently as VP and head of regional sales for the Americas, and has more than 25 years of experience in corporate travel leadership—has joined CTM as SVP of business development. Reporting to Mary Ellen Hess, CTM EVP of business development for North America, Shevlin will focus on accelerating growth and deepening client partnerships in the region, according to the TMC.
CTM also has hired Kerin McKinnon as VP of business development, focusing on large-market clients. McKinnon has more than 20 year of experience in the industry, most recently with Atlas Travel, and she also is chair of the Travel and Meetings Society.
In addition, CTM has added two new directors of business development to its North America team. Josh Geiss, who joins CTM from a similar role at CWT, will be focusing on strategic partnerships in the TMC’s enterprise portfolio. James Fealey is CTM’s new director of business development for its higher-education-travel-focused brand Collegiate Travel Planners. Fealey previously had sales and leadership roles with student travel company ScholarTrip as well as Semester at Sea and STA Travel.
In a statement, CTM North America CEO Anita Salvatore said the hires “strengthen our ability to scale with our customers and bring a sharper regional focus to our global offering.”
