Flight Centre Travel Group has appointed Tom Walley will take the reins as the new global managing director of SME specialist division Corporate Traveller.

Having started with the group more than two decades ago, Walley has worked across the company’s corporate and leisure divisions in both the UK and Australia, primarily in management roles, and will retain his current position of general manager for Corporate Traveller in Australia.

“I’ve been a passionate advocate for this fantastic brand for more than 10 years and I’m delighted to move into a role that will focus on Corporate Traveller being a leader for SMEs, not just in Australia, but across the globe,” Walley said.

“We have an ambitious target of welcoming $1 billion (USD) of new customers in the 2023 financial year globally and there are three things that will help us achieve this goal – our people, the great service they provide, and our investment in technology.”

Corporate Travel CEO Chris Galanty said Walley was the perfect candidate to navigate Corporate Traveller through the post-pandemic world and beyond.

“Tom is incredibly well-known across the business as he’s one of our most experienced senior leaders, having held senior positions in both Australia and the UK for over a decade,” Galanty said.

“He’s been a member of various global senior leadership teams and most importantly he’s led the Corporate Traveller business in both the UK and Australia and understands both the history and future of the brand.

“The purpose of this role is to work with the Corporate Traveller global management team to execute the business strategy and deliver the capability to ensure it succeeds in the eyes of our customers.

“Tom has been a key member of the team that has created a highly successful strategy in the Australian market over the last two years and he is determined to see Corporate Traveller become the global category leader in SME business travel.”
