About our DBM, Michele:

A travel industry veteran with over 30 years of experience. My career has included working for hotel companies such as Hilton, Marriott and IHG, online travel companies such as Hotels.com, Expedia and BookIt.com, cruise lines; and most recently, the land-based tour operator Exoticca. My focus has always been building partner relationships through mutual success, sharing positivity and the love of travel. I believe that engagement, support and collaboration are the foundations to build all things together. During downtime, I enjoy spending time with my family, furbabies and of course, traveling the globe!
