“I’m excited about the opportunity to be part of the team at Travel Edge; the core values that are at the centre of Travel Edge are something that I identify closely with and made me want to be part of," said O’Connell. “I have worked with many of my cruise partners for the past 14 years, and to be able to bring that experience and benefit of my long-standing relationships to another segment of the industry with a unique approach appealed to me.”

Michael Johnson, EVP Travel Edge shares, “We are excited to welcome Sinead to the team.

“The travel industry has to be the greatest industry there is!” O’Connell concluded. “Who else gets to participate in helping clients plan what is probably the most important and fun times of their year - where they get to go someplace new, spend quality time with family and friends and make memories that will last a lifetime? There is no greater industry than ours. I am proud to join the Travel Edge family.”
