Effective 6 January 2025, the new role will see Conboy deploy people-focused strategies to support existing team members globally and power the red-and-white brand’s ambitious growth plans.
A FCTG ‘Hall of Famer’, Conboy has had a stellar career since commencing as a Flight Centre consultant in 1993.

“We employ 3,000-plus ‘brand warriors’ around the world and collectively, they are our most powerful billboards, so it’s important we continue to ensure we are supporting their needs, celebrating our unique culture and creating a modernised brand they’re proud to represent.”
