Prior to her position at Intrepid, Lowe worked in senior retail and wholesale roles at Flight Centre Travel Group. 

According to Intrepid, Lowe joins the business at a pivotal time, as Yvette Thompson, who previously held the role, moves into the position of General Manager of Sales and Marketing ANZ.

“I’m excited to join a company that is purpose-led and stepping into a role that focuses on people and partnerships,” Lowe said.
