Contiki names new president

Contiki Holidays Canada has appointed Deanna Lambert as president effective May 16, while former Contiki president Brad Ford has joined Lion World Travel as president of that company.

Lambert comes to Contiki from TRAFFIKGroup, a Toronto-based marketing agency, where she served as the agency’s director of brand & digital strategy, working with a number of high-profile companies and past clients including BBDO, Harley Davidson, Diageo Canada, Canadian Tire, Loblaw Corp, Sportchek/Forzani, President’s Choice Financial, Pepsi FritoLay, and a women’s entrepreneurship NGO in Uganda.

Beginning November 2016, Ford will join Lion World Travel as president, working closely with Lucille Sive, CEO of both Lion World Travel and African Travel. Prior to his transition, Ford will be "embarking on adventures across the globe," according to a statement from Contiki.

Lambert will be based in the Travel Corporation Canada’s Toronto office and she can be reached at deanna.lambert@contiki.com.
