Just one year after joining Goway as Chief Operating Officer, Dean Moore has been named the company’s new Chief Executive Officer.
In his short tenure, Moore delivered double-digit growth, streamlined operations, and transformed technology systems. He will now lead all Goway’s North American operations, as well as a new portfolio comprising subsidiary companies Across Australia (Sydney) and INA Prime (Manila).
Moore joined Goway in 2025 while the company was celebrating its 55th anniversary. He has spent 25 years in the global travel space having worked in the UK, continental and northern Europe, the US, and Canada. He has held senior executive positions including Executive Director of Transformation at MyTravel Group, COO and CEO of Thomas Cook’s North American division, and COO and CEO of itravel2000.
“Dean shares my ambitious vision for Goway as the leading tailor-made travel company for globetrotters,” says Bruce Hodge, Goway’s Founder & President. “He has helped move the needle dramatically through his tenacious leadership and rigorous commitment to driving results. Our leadership board and I feel we have found exactly the person to propel Goway into the future.”
As CEO, Moore will work to maintain momentum on many ambitious projects with the vision of delivering exceptional experiences for all Goway’s communities: globetrotting travellers, travel advisors, partners, and team members.
Goways says technological innovation is central to Moore’s approach, which will power these projects as Goway makes further significant investments in industry-leading proprietary systems.
Moore says the technology will provide the underpinning for a parallel investment in the company’s teams and culture, respecting Goway’s reputation as a people-first business that provides exceptional service and personalization.
“In a very short time I’ve been incredibly impressed by the passion, dedication, and performance of Goway’s teams around the globe. It’s truly our people that will define our success in this era of technological change. It’s a privilege to continue leading Goway on our journey as the leader in tailor-made travel.”
A New Chapter for an Industry Icon
Bruce Hodge will remain as President and Chairman and continue to oversee Goway’s subsidiary corporate travel division, Globespan Travel Management. He also intends to devote more time to philanthropy and defining Goway’s legacy. His first storytelling project, Tales from the Road, is now live on Goway.com. Through a new written story released each month, he will explore Goway’s origins and his 55+ years of globetrotting.
