FCM M&E appoints global marketing lead

Travel management company FCM, part of the Flight Centre Travel Group (FCTG), has promoted Henry Jones to global marketing leader of its meeting and events division, FCM M&E.

Jones has spent the last eight years working at FCTG, working across multiple brands and several regions including the UK and Canada supporting the launch of Corporate Traveller’s Melon booking platform. Most recently, however, he’s served as the head of marketing for FCM Travel Asia, based in Singapore.

In his new role, Jones will spearhead the global brand strategy for the company, including bringing the division’s product suite to market with parent FCTG looking to invest “heavily” in meetings and events.

FCM M&E global general manager, Simone Seiler, said: “We believe the meetings, events, conferences and event travel markets are ripe for disruption worldwide and have invested heavily in technology and people.

“We know we have an incredible opportunity to grow and position ourselves as the travel management company of choice for meetings, events and event travel,” she said, adding that Jones is “an example of our ‘Brightness of Future’ at FCTG, where every team member is encouraged to develop their career progression”.
