Flight Centre Travel Group has appointed Tiziano (Tiz) Galipo (pictured) to the newly created role of global managing director for the specialist boutique entertainment and sports pillar of its business. Known as Corporate Traveller Stage, Screen & Sports in five of the six regions it operates, and simply as Stage & Screen in Australia, Galipo returns to the 30-year-old business, having been with Stage & Screen in Australia for more than a decade before taking up a London-based role with Netflix as EMEA travel and expense director.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled to return to a business that’s always had a special place in my heart. My role brings a focus on true globalisation, while local expert leaders drive growth in each regional market, the potential is truly exciting,” he said and identifies the USA, UK, and Canada as the biggest opportunities for growth.
“We’re excited by the complementary impact that being a part of the Corporate Traveller family has across five of our markets, especially in relation to its world-class technology and operational procedures. But we’ll also be our own bespoke business, maintaining the ‘high touch’ approach our customers have come to know of us.”
Corporate Traveller global managing director Tom Walley welcomed Galipo to the role and said Galipo’s extensive experience would drive the business to bigger and better things across the globe: “We’ve brought him in to grow and develop the business and to globally align both the products and services to this specialised sector.”
