TORONTO — Next month Karen Evans will be bidding adieu to the team at Discover the World, where she has worked for an amazing and productive three decades.

Joanne Lundy, Discover the World’s long-time owner, says she brought Evans onboard in 1994, “where she soared with a great team in an ever-changing industry.”

Evans’ first role in the industry was with Wardair in 1989, where she started in customer service. She quickly progressed to the commercial team, before moving on to Canadian Airlines in 1991 as Sales Manager.

Says Lundy: “Karen has represented several of our top clients and many of you will know her for her work with BMI, LOT Polish Airlines and more recently with SATA Azores Airlines. Karen worked many years on marketing projects, sponsored events and golf tournaments on behalf of Star Alliance while representing LOT.

Lundy added: “Karen is perhaps best known for her passionate (and often note-free) delivery of captivating presentations of the products and services of her clients. In the case of SATA, she would have you booking a ticket to the Azores within a few minutes of her description of this unique and very special destination. Please join us in wishing Karen the very best for this very special next chapter.”

Evans will be succeeded in her role as National Sales Manager for SATA by her colleague Andrea Thornton, who has also had a long and successful career with Discover the World and has worked alongside Evans for many years.
