MD, spending three years there prior to becoming a Managing
Partner at Virtually LIVE! Live Stream TV Broadcasting in London,

understand our B2B partners destination and product preferences,
and assist in introducing them to our luxury brand clients that
are relevant and will bring added value to their travel
