The role included working between teams to manage risk, improve payment terms and automate payment reconciliation. I managed the entire Sales process from sourcing leads through to contract negotiation and technical implementation. Achievements included double digit growth of TTV every year (exc Covid). In 2019, I was recognized with the Asia Pacific Award for highest individual signed volume.

It was my responsibility to prepare Strategic Activity Plans for all preferred suppliers including major Airlines, Land wholesalers, Cruise lines, Tourist Boards and internal wholesalers. The role was the conduit between the Commercial and Marketing functions and included devising, implementing, supporting and analysing all key Product initiatives. I successfully negotiated new and exclusive content for each major national marketing campaign, leading to increased revenues for both Helloworld and our preferred suppliers.

As part of Helloworld's Airline Representation Unit, I worked as the Business Development Manager for Hawaiian Airlines. It was my role to grow the spend volume from existing partnerships, as well as seek out new distribution channels and preferred arrangements. In 2011, Hawaiian Airlines flew a Boeing 747 three times per week ex SYD. By 2013, through the creation and execution of a Strategic Sales Plan, weekly flights increased to ten ex SYD and BNE on the larger Airbus 330's. In 2014, I was named as one of five finalists at the National Travel Industry Awards.
