ABTA appoints new chief executive
ABTA has named Mark Tanzer as its new chief executive.
Tanzer, 44, takes the reigns at Newman Street having served as a senior director for change and reform at the Immigration and Nationality Directorate and director of corporate development at Centrica, the parent company of the AA, British Gas and OneTel.
He will replace retiring chief executive Ian Reynolds at the end of August.
Tanzer said: “I am delighted to be joining ABTA during a period of change. Change is an important part of any organisation’s development and an effective trade organisation must anticipate the future of the industry and the needs of its members.”
ABTA president Martin Wellings said: “When Ian Reynolds arrived at ABTA in 1994 he bought with him a lot of experience from outside travel that we benefited from. The same will be true of Mark Tanzer, whose combined experience of change management in corporate life and retail practice makes a great combination that will benefit both ABTA and its members.”
