Jules Verne managing director Debbie O’Neill officially stepped up to the role on Wednesday (15 April) from her position as vice-chair during a transitional period for the organisation, with seven new members joining the board, alongside six existing directors. She succeeds Michelle Laverick, head of marketing at Jules Verne.
Speaking to TTG, O’Neill said her priority was to reshape AWTE to better reflect the needs of the "modern woman" in travel, such as by moving beyond traditional networking to create a more meaningful and supportive community.
