Dean joins the Belfast-based company as product manager this month in a move Mahlatini said “aligned to ambitions to expand the portfolio in other African destinations and beyond”.

She has 25 years’ experience in the travel industry, including senior roles for Cox & Kings, Carrier and most recently Lusso, where she led the trade-only operator’s product and commercial strategy.
