American Express Travel Representative Cruise Planners just announced it has promoted Theresa Scalzitti to the position of Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
Brand Co-Owner and COO Vicky Garcia said Scalzitti has an integral role in the executive team and that her diligence, leadership and analytical skills have directly contributed to the company's improved efficiencies overall and its increased profits.
Since she joined the travel brand three years ago, Scalzitti has played an important part in the company's quest to remain ahead of the pack in terms of new ideas. It was recently named "Travel Agency Innovator of the Year" by the Cruise Lines International Association for its marketing tech advancements, which help its franchisees boost their profits.
Scalzitti spent two decades with a major cruise line before joining the travel brand as the VP of Sales and Marketing. Known both as an advocate for franchisees and someone who consistently exceeds sales goals, Scalzitti is viewed as a trailblazer by brand co-founder and CEO Michelle Fee, who also highlighted Scalzitti's many past accomplishments in the marketing sphere.
