Chris Brandon has returned to Flight Centre Travel Group to join its new travel loyalty program brand, World360 Rewards, as head of Travel Partnerships.
He brings more than 20 years of experience in travel and product roles, most recently as Senior Manager Retail Distribution at Luxury Escapes.
Brandon said he’s looking forward to rejoining the global company he worked at for close to 18 years.
“When I got the opportunity to come back to Flight Centre during what I think is the company’s most exciting chapter yet, it was an easy ‘yes’,” he said.
“The team has built something incredible with World360 Rewards, and I feel very lucky to be playing a role in helping Aussies travel more.
“I can’t wait to get stuck in and start working with all our existing partners, as well as new airlines, tour operators, tourism bodies, hoteliers and cruise lines.”
World360 Rewards Executive general manager Clinton Hearne said Brandon’s external experience would be invaluable as the program continues to grow its partner network.
“Chris has a deep understanding of both the travel industry and what our customers want from a loyalty program,” he said.
“Having someone of his calibre leading our travel partnerships puts us in a great position as we scale World360 Rewards.”
