The Advantage Travel Partnership has announced the appointment of Andrea Caulfield-Smith to the position of Managing Director – Global Business Travel, effective 15 April 2024. This new appointment follows Guy Snelgar’s decision to return to his former consultancy business. Snelgar joined the Partnership as Director of Global Business Travel in June 2022 and will leave Advantage in July after completing a robust hand-over with Caulfield-Smith and completing a number of new projects.

Caulfield-Smith joins Advantage from Visa where she currently holds the position of Director B2B Global Travel Partnerships. Prior to Visa, she has held high profile leadership roles with brands that include American Express, easyJet PLC and Carlson Wagon-Lit.

Julia Lo Bue-Said, Chief Executive, The Advantage Travel Partnership, said: “We are delighted to be welcoming Andrea to Advantage. Her extensive knowledge and experience of the global business travel sector is second to none, and she is excited by the ambitious growth strategy we have set ourselves going forward. Andrea is well-known across the business travel sector, and I believe she will be a strong addition to my team and welcomed by our members.”
