“We are very pleased to have someone with Christine’s vast travel industry and marketing experience join TTAND,” said Flemming Friisdahl, TTAND’s founder and CEO. “Christine will be a key member of our leadership team in guiding the company and our agent partners as we continue to grow to new heights.”

He added: “We know that marketing is a very important aspect of selling travel.  TTAND has invested heavily in having the largest host agency marketing team to support our agent partners.”

As I step back into the travel industry and into this exciting new role, I look forward to leveraging my experiences and passion to contribute to The Travel Agent Next Door’s success,” she said.
