FCM Travel Solutions appoints new Director

FCM Travel Solutions has appointed a new Director, Melanie Walljee, who took up the position at the beginning of this month. Melanie joined the Flight Centre Travel Group 12 years ago as a Travel Consultant. Her rise through the ranks has been steady, and she quickly moved from Consultant to Team Leader within the group. In 2017, Walljee briefly served as Director and GM of FCM Travel Solutions before becoming Operations Leader and Systems and Implementation Manager for the brand.

Walljee says her career trajectory at the Flight Centre Travel Group has prepared her well for her new position as, over the years, she has been involved in every aspect of the business.

“I feel well-prepared and excited to tackle the challenges that come with being part of the decision-making process and one of the directors of FCM Travel Solutions,” she says. “It is great to experience how the Flight Centre Travel Group allows people the opportunity to grow and to truly fulfil their potential. I look forward to helping drive the company’s core strategy, which is to fully streamline automation within the business by 2020 and ensure the prosperity of its employees.”

Managing Director of the Flight Centre Travel Group Andrew Stark describes the company’s staff as its greatest asset. “We are a people-centred organisation and make it a priority to grow and develop the members of our team,” he says. “Appointing Melanie as a Director was a natural choice for the Flight Centre Travel Group, as her enthusiasm and demonstrated leadership are highly valued.”

“I am delighted to welcome Melanie to the board,” adds FCM General Manager Nicole Adonis. “Melanie has proven to be an invaluable asset to the Flight Centre Travel Group, and I am sure that her experience will add a valuable perspective. I look forward to working together with her to drive the company forward.”
