Jeff Carpenter is Royal Caribbean's new Strategic Account Manager (SAM) for Western Canada. Carpenter will assume the role which was previously held by Leanne Hill who sadly passed away last October.
"My colleagues are thrilled that Jeff has joined our company. Jeff is the perfect fit to take over from our beloved Leanne. Leanne and Jeff worked closely together, and I know he will continue the success she built," Lisa Connell, Director of Sales Canada, said in a statement.
In a note to the trade, Lisa addressed travel advisors directly: "Jeff has loved working with travel partners in the past, building great friendships and partnerships along the way, and he is eager to foster new relationships with each of you. He has also travelled extensively during his career, and some of his favourite memories include trips to the Caribbean, French Polynesia, Thailand, Egypt & Europe.
"Jeff is eager to get settled into his new role, but he will be in training and attending events on the Icon of the Seas until early February. Jeff will be working alongside Germain Marchand - Business Development Support (BDS), who you may already be familiar with. Jeff will also work closely with Chantal Rodriguez, Senior Account Executive, Sales Development for Western Canada."
The cruise line has also taken delivery of its newest ship, Icon of the Seas, and both are making their North American debuts this week.
