HRG¡¯s former group commercial director Stewart Harvey is to join fellow business travel giant BCD Travel as president of the EMEA region.
?
Harvey, who left HRG in February after 25 years with the company, will replace BCD¡¯s current EMEA president Ilona De March, who is leaving the TMC after 13 years.
?
¡°BCD stakes its brand and its reputation on being a trusted adviser to its clients at every level of the organisation. It¡¯s a true global player that¡¯s poised for continued growth, and I¡¯m excited to play a part in its development,¡± said Harvey.
?
He will join BCD¡¯s global executive team, headed by CEO John Snyder, alongside the company¡¯s three other regional presidents: Mike Walley for the UK and Ireland, Mike Janssen for the Americas and Greg O¡¯Neil for Asia Pacific.
?
Harvey will join BCD when he has ¡°fulfilled his contractual obligation to HRG¡± but no starting date has yet been announced. He will have full operational and financial responsibility across the EMEA region once he takes up his new role.
?
¡°EMEA is key to our overall success,¡± added Snyder. ¡°It¡¯s a region in which we service many of our largest multinational clients, and it¡¯s home to a number of exciting initiatives that we¡¯re undertaking in partnership with those customers.
?
¡°Stewart¡¯s expertise and leadership will help us excel and grow as we continue to manage the accelerating changes in our industry and in the region.¡±
