Intrepid Travel Expands North America Partnerships Team

Intrepid Travel announced today the expansion of its partnership team with the addition and promotion of several industry veterans. 

The new appointments include:

Tarah Ellis, Key Partnership Manager. Based in the U.S., Ellis brings over 15 years of experience in sales and account management, with a proven track record of building strategic partnerships that drive sustainable growth and lasting impact.

Steven Murphy, Key Partnerships Manager. Also based in the U.S., Murphy brings a wealth of expertise in strategic alliances, having worked with travel brands like Club Adventures and G Adventures to build strong, collaborative partnerships that drive impactful results.

Carmen Bishop and Kazundra Brown, Senior Key Partnerships Managers. Bishop and Brown will drive key industry partner strategy while also overseeing KPM sales activities for North America.

David Liotta, Key Partnerships Manager. Based in Toronto, Liotta will support and expand Intrepid’s key industry partnerships with a primary focus on advisor relationships and engagement.

The additions to Intrepid’s partnerships team strengthens the company’s growing presence in North America. 

Over the last year, the small group and adventure tour specialist has been strategically expanding its operations in North America. Intrepid revamped its North America senior leadership team this past spring, adding Christian Wolters as president of Canada – a newly created role – and upping Leigh Barnes to president of the Americas.

“We are thrilled to be welcoming Tarah and Steven to the Intrepid team,” said Laura Hernandez, Intrepid Travel head of partnerships, North America. “Their combined experience and passion for sustainable travel will be instrumental in driving our partnership strategy forward. We are confident that their contributions will help us forge stronger connections with travel advisors and provide meaningful travel experiences for their clients.”
