Luxury cruise line Silversea is making a number of major organisational restructures that are specifically aimed at strengthening and consolidating the company`s plans for growth and development in the coming months.
Albert Peter, Chief Operating Officer, Silversea said, The adaptation of our organisational structure to the business needs of Silversea is a significant factor in determining the success of our company. As such we have decided to restructure the internal management within our UK and international markets.
Aris Zarpanely will be relocating to Silversea`s Monaco office this summer. In his position as Executive Vice President Zarpanely will assume a different role within the company. His new responsibilities will be focused on internal global projects and new business opportunities. These areas represent a key goal of developing and expanding on the core business of Silversea and will fully utilise his broad knowledge and understanding of the cruise market. He will be reporting directly to Albert Peter and his know how will be a valuable asset in assisting on many important projects.
In another move Steve Odell, currently Silversea Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Asia Pacific has been promoted to Senior Vice President, UK, Europe, Asia Pacific and Emerging Markets and will take over full responsibility for these markets.
Odell will continue to be based in Australia for an initial period of eight months and will divide his time between Sydney and London. This will enable Silversea to provide an appropriate transition period for the company’s Asia Pacific business. Karen Christensen, Regional Sales Director, Silversea Australia and New Zealand and Melvyn Yap, Regional Sales Director, Silversea Asia will continue to report directly to Odell during this time and by early April 2007 the company anticipates the transition period will be complete.
Within his role Odell will take direct responsibility for the markets headed by Trudy Redfern, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Silversea UK and Nordic Regions, Enrico Origone, Vice President, Sales, Silversea Continental Europe and Sergio Dell`Acqua, Vice President, Sales, Emerging Markets, as they will now be reporting directly to him.
Theodore is the Co-Founder and Managing Editor of TravelDailyNews Media Network; his responsibilities include business development and planning for TravelDailyNews long-term opportunities.
