“It has been a great experience to work with a team of such outstanding people, and I feel privileged to have held leadership positions with two prestigious travel brands, as well as being a core part of a hugely successful global company.”

Fiona lead the company through its first magazine venture.
It was the first time a travel company entered magazine publishing.
