FCM Meetings & Events has restructured the leadership of its Americas operations team, naming Gabriella Antoniotti as head of operations for the region.
In the newly created role, Antoniotti is overseeing the event travel, sourcing and managed meetings and event management departments for FCM M&E in the Americas. Antoniotti has been with the company for about a decade, most recently as director of business improvements and previously at event operations positions at the company in Australia.
FCM president for the Americas Billy McDonough in a statement said Antoniotti's "leadership, operational expertise and deep understanding of the meetings and events space will be integral to our continued success and future growth plans in the U.S. and Canada."
The restructuring also included the promotion of Steph Garcia to team leader for the event travel division. Garcia joined the organization last year and previously worked for Liberty Travel, FCM parent company Flight Centre Travel Group's U.S. leisure brand.
Other department leaders—Jessica Cortese for sourcing and managed meetings, and event management leaders Emma Eves in the U.S. and Sophie Marsh in Canada—are continuing in the roles under the new structure. They, along with Garcia, all are reporting to Antoniotti.
