Giles takes up his new position on 21 February after previous roles across the cruise sector with Riviera Travel, Silversea and Hurtigruten.
Last month Giles marked the first anniversary of Travel Industry Recruitment Opportunities, a group he launched during the pandemic to help travel professionals back into employment.
At Ponant he will work alongside Vladislav Saveliev, Ponant’s sales manager for the south and midlands, and report to the line’s sales director for the UK, Ireland and developing markets, Nabil Maillard.
