As CT Partners celebrates its 20th year as Australia’s leading independently owned travel buying network, the organisation is pleased to welcome Joe Araullo, CEO of TravelManagers, as the new Chair of the Board, taking over from David Greenland effective the 14th of February.
Founded in 2004, CT Partners is a bastion of independence in the Australian travel sector. With a member-centric approach that prioritises autonomy, CT Partners has consistently delivered solid financial returns for members as a result of head office passing through 100% of supplier payments to members.
CT Partners’ philosophy of transparency, collaboration, and agility, and an emphasis on supporting smaller, specialised businesses has challenged industry norms and provided a competitive edge against larger players.
David Greenland, the outgoing Chair, will be thanked for his contributions at the CT Partners 20th Anniversary dinner on the 6th of March in Sydney.
Quote from Incoming Chair Joe Araullo:
‘I am honoured to assume the role of Chair in CT Partners’ landmark 20th year. This milestone anniversary celebrates two decades of our success and innovation in the Australian travel industry. It’s a privilege to be part of a network that embodies such a strong ethos of independence and member success.’
Quote from CT Partners CEO Matt Masson:
‘It’s been an absolute pleasure working alongside David with the board benefiting from his extensive industry experience and guidance. It’s reassuring to know that the Chair’s position is being passed to another high-calibre individual with Joe’s strong experience and influence within the travel industry aligning perfectly with CT Partners’ vision for the future.’
