according to the travel management company. Fragale, who
left Directravel—now known as Direct Travel—in 2013 and who
most recently served as chief content officer of travel technology company FarePortal, will report to Barry Liben, CEO of Protravel parent Travel Leaders Group. Fragale will replace Protravel founder Priscilla Alexander, who
retired in January. Protravel in a statement cited a "lengthy, thorough executive search" process to replace Alexander, culminating in "Fragale's selection by the company's entire leadership team." New York-based Protravel claims annual sales of $870 million.
