The Sydney Convention and Visitors Bureau has appointed Maeve Chomphunut to the high-profile role of Director of Strategic Alliances, taking responsibility for the bureau’s partnerships with members and other stakeholders.
Ms Chomphunut joins the SCVB from the Dockside Group where she served as Group Project Manager for the organisation’s portfolio of Sydney venues. Past positions include Sales Manager at Dockside as well as other sales and marketing positions at several prominent Sydney hotels.
SCVB Managing Director Jon Hutchison said Ms Chomphunut would be responsible for coordinating many of the SCVB’s events and for developing successful relationships with members and stakeholders.
“Maeve is already well-known in our industry and has excellent relationships with many of our members and clients,” Mr Hutchison said. “Her experience is perfect for a role that involves developing strong and effective partnerships with not only our members but the wider business community.”
Ms Chomphunut replaces Deanna Varga who has left to join Tourism Events Australia. She had served as Director of Strategic Alliances since the role was first created in 2005.
