Quark Expeditions appointed Max Truen as Area Sales Director for the South USA. Truen brings more than 15 years of experience in luxury travel, hospitality, sales and strategic business development.
Based in South Florida, Truen will oversee Quark Expeditions’ sales strategy across the southern U.S., with a focus on revenue growth, travel advisor engagement and expanding the company’s regional partnerships.
“I’m thrilled to join Quark Expeditions and represent a company with such a strong reputation for innovation and expertise in polar travel,” said Truen in a press statement. “I look forward to building on Quark’s relationships with the travel advisor community across the Southeast, developing new partnerships and helping advisors introduce more of their clients to the extraordinary experiences available in the polar regions.”
Truen has spent his career developing partnerships, opening new markets and building relationships within the luxury travel sector. Before joining Quark Expeditions, he served as Director of Partnerships and Customer Experience at Laasy.
“Max brings an impressive combination of luxury travel expertise, commercial leadership and a relationship-first approach that makes him an excellent addition to our sales team,” said David Marathakis, Senior Director of Sales, Americas, Groups and Charters at Quark Expeditions.
“The Southeast is an important market for Quark,” continued Marathakis in a press statement, “and Max’s experience building strong industry partnerships will be invaluable as we continue to deepen our relationships with travel advisors, expand our presence across the region and connect more travelers with the transformative power of polar travel.”
In his new role, Truen will work with travel advisors throughout the Southeast as Quark looks to expand its presence in the region and connect more clients with expedition experiences in the Arctic and Antarctic.
