NEW YORK, June 15, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Ovation Travel Group has appointed Diana Adamson Arias as its new Vice President of Independent Advisors (IA) and Affiliates, Business Development & Operations. She will be responsible for IA support and growth on the East Coast.

Her arrival comes just two weeks prior to the formal reopening of Ovation's New York headquarters on June 28, also announced this week.
Paul Metselaar, Chairman and CEO of Ovation Travel Group, said: "Travel is making a profound comeback with leisure travel driving our post-pandemic growth. It's because of this resurgence that we expedited our search for a travel industry all-star to ensure we don't miss a beat in the recovery.
"Diana's years of creative and effective leadership in management, marketing, and sales will help our advisors become even more successful," Metselaar continued. "Her expertise will reinvigorate our luxury leisure operations as our IAs continue ramping up to meet growing demand."
Adamson Arias said: "I understand the level of trust that clients put in the IAs. My objective, therefore, is to prepare the IAs to exceed expectations and deliver the most impeccable service possible. Having worked for one of the world's most respected hoteliers I believe I have the depth of industry knowledge to help IAs fulfill their business potential."
Sunil Mahtani, Executive Vice President for Ovation, said: "Diana's appointment provides the leadership and experience necessary as the return to travel accelerates. With the addition of Diana and returning more furloughed colleagues back to work, our immensely talented IAs will have all the support they need as we prepare for rapid growth."
