“Louise is one of the most respected figures in our industry, with proven leadership qualities,” says TDC President and Transat Chief Distribution Officer Joseph Adamo. “I am certain that she will brilliantly guide the TDC network in the years to come and that everyone in our industry will applaud her appointment.”
