Internova is changing its Partner Relations structure, a move that comes with a new alignment for its executive team.
Albert Herrera, the current executive vice president of Partner Relations, will remain in that role and will continue to oversee both hotel programs—SELECT Hotels & Resorts, CURATED Hotels & Resorts, and WORLDWIDE Hotels & Resorts—and DMCs (SELECT In-Country Partners). Herrera will now also lead the team managing Internova’s cruise programs—Distinctive Voyages, Amenity Departure Dates, and Culinary Collection.
Henry Gilroy, the current executive vice president of Strategy, will now also lead commercial contracting for hotel, cruise, tour, insurance, and land products for Internova.
Peter Vlitas, the executive vice president of Partner Relations, will continue to oversee all aspects of partnerships across all verticals, including air, rail, car rentals, GDS, and private jets.
The new structure is geared toward building a framework, all under a unified Internova umbrella, that enhances collaboration, Internova said in its announcement.
“By aligning all of our partner programs and contracting under a unified Internova framework, we’re not just simplifying relationships, we’re amplifying results,” J.D. O’Hara said.
