TravelPulse Canada is starting the new year with new leadership in both sales and editorial.
Two of our Northstar leaders, Ken Shapiro and Maura Lee-Byrne, who have been actively working on the brand, have taken over leadership for TravelPulse Canada.
John Kirk, Editor in Chief, has decided to step away from the business. He will be leaving effective the end of this week. We are grateful to John for his leadership, his industry presence and his passion for the brand. Also leaving the TravelPulse Canada team will be editorial members Marsha Mowers and Bruce Parkinson. Thank you to both Marsha and Bruce for their consistent editorial voices and presence in the market. We wish them all the best on their next chapters. We look forward to a very bright future for TravelPulse Canada.
