In the role of Regional General Manager (RGM) for Africa and Middle East I hold accountability for the overall performance of each business in the region (Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Southern Africa and East Africa). A key purpose is to drive excellence for the region. My role is responsible for the long-term planning and implementation of strategy, ensuring that both yearly and longer-term goals are achieved. The engagement required is at both a strategic and, at times, a detailed level, to deliver business performance across all parts of the business, including operations and sales.
I provide leadership to ensure that the region and each individual business achieves its goals, by promoting business revenue growth and profitability, monitoring trip performance including passenger enjoyment and health and safety, developing new business and effectively utilising resources to deliver the best travel experience ever to our clients. I also contribute to the global performance of the business, by contributing to strategy, policy, process and global business development.
