Ensemble names Katie Kania VP of Business Development

Ensemble has appointed Katie Kania as Vice President, Business Development, effective November 16, as the travel agency consortium continues to expand its membership across North America.

Kania joins Ensemble with more than a decade of travel industry experience. Most recently, she led Field Sales at Norwegian Cruise Line, where she developed relationships with travel agencies and supported business growth across North America.

In her new role, Kania will oversee strategic business development initiatives aimed at attracting new member agencies, strengthening relationships with prospective partners and promoting Ensemble’s growing portfolio of programs and resources.

The appointment comes amid continued growth for the consortium.

At its most recent Horizons conference, Ensemble reported 11% year-over-year sales growth and the addition of more than 70 new member agencies.

“Ensemble is experiencing an exciting period of growth, and bringing talented leaders like Katie into our organization is an important part of sustaining that momentum,” said Michael Johnson, President of Ensemble.

Johnson emphasized that business development goes beyond recruitment, highlighting the importance of building relationships and supporting advisors' long-term success.

For her part, Kania expressed enthusiasm about joining the organization.

“Ensemble has built a compelling platform for growth, backed by a collaborative community and a clear commitment to member success,” she said.

“I'm looking forward to working with the team, connecting with agencies across North America and helping more travel advisors discover what they can achieve as part of Ensemble.”

The appointment reflects Ensemble's continued investment in expanding its network while strengthening the technology, education, partnerships and resources available to member agencies.
