  • Newark, NJ (1888PressRelease) July 06, 2013 - Travelive, a leading luxury travel company with offices in the USA and Europe, announces the addition of Sonia Athan as Vice President of Sales and Business Development.

    Within this role, Athan will spearhead Travelive's initiatives targeted towards travel agency partners in North and South America and also growing the Travelive product offering in Greece, Italy, Spain, France and more. Athan's proven background building agency relationships will help ensure Travelive continues to grow at a record pace, allowing the company to further its position within the marketplace as a truly unique luxury travel alternative. "I relish the opportunity to work with the amazing team here at Travelive in constructing truly hand-crafted FIT itineraries to the company's exciting destinations," says Athan. "Long gone are the days of suggesting, for example, a standard half-day tour of Athens. We specialize in custom-crafted, extraordinary stays that agents can offer their clients, who we promise will arrive home having experienced the vacation of a lifetime. I am really excited to be a part of the Travelive team."

    Athan has spent the last thirteen years as Account Director with luxury hotels and cruise lines such as Hotel Grande Bretagne, a Luxury Collection Hotel in Athens and Regent Seven Seas Cruises, building relationships with North & South American-based travel retailers. Most recently, she was Vice President of National Sales for Signature Travel Network, spearheading the recruitment program for both members and independent travel consultants in the U.S. and Canada.

    Athan's appointment comes right at the conclusion of another year of very good growth for the company. "Travelive is experiencing double-digit growth and great customer interest" said Mina Agnos, Co-Founder and President of Travelive. "Sonia's depth of experience, leadership acumen, and track record of success are exactly what the company needs for its next major phase of growth."
