“In a fast-evolving market, CTM has a powerful story to tell. My goal is to shine a light on what makes CTM truly unique and help businesses make more confident, informed decisions when it comes to their corporate travel partner. 

She added: "Marketing will play a critical role in aligning closely with the business to drive growth, deepening our connection with customers, and positioning CTM as a thought leader in corporate travel.”

Darren Toohey, CTM’s chief sales and customer officer, said: “Rebecca’s appointment marks a key step in ensuring our strategic growth plans are driven by meaningful customer connection. 

"As we continue to expand our global customer footprint, it’s essential that our marketing reflects what matters most to our customers, whether that’s local relevance, insightful thought leadership, or a more intuitive brand experience. 

"Rebecca brings a passion for growth marketing and a strong track record of delivering results, making her well-positioned to help us scale our impact in ways that resonate with customers around the world.”
