CARNIVAL Cruise Line (CCL) Vice President Sales & Marketing Kara Glamore (pictured) is set to depart the company, as revealed by CW yesterday (TD breaking news yesterday).
A global review of Carnival’s sales & marketing team has seen Glamore’s role made redundant, with the former local head of the cruise line to depart on 01 Jun.
Glamore led Carnival’s Australian team from her ascension to her role in Jul 2021 through to the integration of P&O Cruises Australia into CCL earlier this year (CW 31 Mar).
The retirement of Senior Vice President of Global Sales & Trade Marketing Adolfo Perez earlier this year saw Carnival review his team, subsequently appointing Janet Wygert as the new leader of the division last week.
Glamore’s departure will now see Senior Director Sales & Marketing Anton Loeb report directly to Wyngert.
“I’m so proud of the Carnival Cruise Line team in Australia and what we achieved over the past years getting through COVID, and more recently with the P&O transition to Carnival,” she said.
“Despite all this change, we’ve driven steady passenger and revenue growth year-on-year in all channels.”
Glamore named championing the first return to sail post-COVID and record-level bookings for Carnival’s Australian fleet as highlights of her tenure.
“Kara’s passion has always been about driving growth, fostering a commitment to working collaboratively with local, global, and shipboard teams, and empowering her direct team,” Carnival Corporation Country Manager Peter Little described.
“We thank Kara for her contribution to CCL’s success in the Australian market and wish her all the best in her future endeavours,” he added. MS
