This move has been prompted as the company continues to evolve into a brand-based leadership structure, previously country based.
The new structure will see the respective FCTG brand leaders in New Zealand, Heidi Walker, Jason Buckley, Kelly de Graaf, Angie Forsyth, Kelly Thomas and Stephan Venter, alongside CFO Terence Blokker and people and culture leader Melanie Barnett, play a more prominent role in day-to-day management of the overall business. The structure mirrors other FCTG international markets.
A New Zealand country leader will be appointed from the existing New Zealand leadership team in the coming weeks.
‘Tori has been a passionate and dedicated leader, making a significant contribution not only to Flight Centre Travel Group but also to the wider travel industry in New Zealand,’ says Flight Centre Travel Group managing director Graham Turner.
