Partnership Travel Consulting founder and CEO Andy Menkes dissolved
his consulting firm in 2018 when he joined BCD Travel. This week, Menkes announced
the group was back together, with additional staff.
The firm includes Tony O'Connor in Australia, Brigitte
Jakubowski in France, Winfried Barczaitis in Germany, Riana Fouche in South
Africa and Tom Kallas in the United States. Also joining the team are long-time
corporate travel agency executive Dee Runyan, who previously served as chief
commercial officer at CorpTrav, and Jim Wilkins, former buyer for Warner
Media/Turner Broadcasting. Melissa Gain has joined on the meetings and events
side.
"Corporate travel managers and their
travelers face huge challenges, and we've been encouraged by many of our colleagues
to provide independent consulting expertise," said Menkes
