With over 10 years of work experience in the travel industry, I am a passionate and driven leader in revenue management, marketing strategy, and analysis. I have a strong track record of generating profit and growth for Grand Circle Corporation, a leading provider of international travel, adventure, and discovery for Americans aged 50 and older. I am motivated by creating memorable and enriching experiences for travelers, while optimizing the financial performance of the company. I bring diverse perspectives and experiences to the team, as I have a background in history, political science, and sociology, and a keen interest in global cultures and issues.As the Director of Revenue Management, I managed the Profit and Loss for Grand Circle Cruise Lines and Grand Circle Travel brands, generating $150 million in gross sales annually. I directed a marketing strategy with an annual budget of $4 million to deliver $40 million in annual profit, affecting 25 distinct itineraries and 20,000 passengers annually. I used prior year’s booking results to establish optimal product pricing, and analyzed customer behavior by segmentation to drive marketing actions. I summarized the results of key strategic initiatives to the CEO, CFO, and COO on a weekly basis, and identified targeted marketing actions to maximize passenger conversion and retention. I also provided monthly recommendations to the senior leadership on risks and opportunities to the P/L, including revenue, discretionary discounts, advertising spend, overbooking costs, and passengers. I utilized my skills in Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, and Time Management to effectively manage and communicate complex data and insights. I left Grand Circle Corporation in February 2023, after a successful and rewarding tenure.
