Virtuoso has announced the appointment of Úna O’Leary as Vice President, global partnerships. In this role, O’Leary will oversee the continued expansion of Virtuoso’s preferred partner portfolio across the world, bringing her proven leadership and deep understanding of the luxury travel landscape to support the network’s long-term strategic growth.
O’Leary’s appointment underscores the organisation’s focus on global alignment, scalable growth and partner success across the nine regions in which Virtuoso operates. She will continue to be based in Toronto, Canada.
Since joining Virtuoso as the organisation’s first general manager, Canada, Úna has played a pivotal role in establishing Canada as its own market within the Virtuoso network. Under her guidance, the region has experienced notable growth in member engagement, partner relationships and overall performance.
“Úna has led Virtuoso’s efforts to identify Canada as a distinct market and one of our established regions,” said Virtuoso senior vice president, global operations Michael Londregan. “Her ability to design a strategy and align our team to execute our plans through collaboration with members and partners makes her ideally suited to this new role.”
As she assumes her new position within the organisation, O’Leary will now report to senior vice president, global partnerships Cory Hagopian.
“This is a significant and exciting move for our global team,” said Hagopian. “Úna’s leadership in Canada has delivered measurable impact, and we’re thrilled to bring that expertise to a broader scope as we continue to grow and deepen our partnerships across the globe.”
O’Leary will continue to provide support to the Canadian market while the search for her successor is underway. That search will be conducted by Londregan and with O’Leary’s assistance, to ensure continuity and a smooth transition.
