TravelMole has announced that Fran Kiradjian has been appointed CEO for TravelMole’s USA operation, bringing extensive experience in the travel industry, especially the hospitality sector.
As founder of the CCRA Preferred Hotel Programme, Kirdijan spent 13 years developing the business, forging relationships around the world with travel agents and hotel chains as well as independent properties. The programme became the largest in North America, served up to more than 18,000 travel agencies and ultimately, a very profitable multi-million dollar enterprise.
