Silversea expands executive team
Silversea Cruises today is expanding its executive team with the appointment of Tom Russell as its new senior VP of product development.
He will join on October 14 and will be based in the company’s Fort Lauderdale office.
While Russell will coordinate a variety of major projects and initiatives across departments, his primary focus will be to oversee the establishment of a programme for the newly acquired expedition ship World Discoverer.
Russell was a member of the founding Silversea executive team in 1992 and has also held various management positions with Sitmar, Princess, and Costa cruise lines.
