BCD Travel has appointed Olivia Ruggles-Brise as
Vice President – Sustainability.
Olivia joins BCD, a leading travel management
company (TMC), with more than 20 years
of experience in international travel, tourism, hospitality and
events, having worked in a variety of strategic sustainability, communications,
policy and research roles.
Olivia worked most recently as director for
Greenview, a consulting and research firm that supports
hospitality organizations in designing environmental, social and
governance sustainability strategies.
Prior to that Olivia spent a
decade at the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) where she oversaw the
organization’s policy, strategy and sustainability work.
Olivia will play an integral role in aligning and
driving initiatives throughout BCD’s six sustainability focus
areas, actively engaging with key stakeholders,
partners and groups within the industry, using strategic
collaboration to ensure continued progress for sustainability.
“I’m thrilled to bring my expertise in both travel
and sustainability to BCD Travel at such a critical time in the
current sustainability landscape,” Olivia said. “Among the
top global travel management companies, BCD has taken the lead in
sustainability and is committed to creating stronger ethical,
social and environmental business practices for the benefit of
future generations.”
Olivia will report directly to April
Bridgeman, Senior Vice President of BCD Travel and Managing
Director of Advito.
“Sustainability is at the core of everything we
do. Olivia’s leadership and expertise will help us plot a course
for the future of sustainability in the corporate travel industry.
Our commitment goes beyond our environmental impact – we are
taking broader accountability across our entire sustainability
program,” said BCD President and CEO, John Snyder.
BCD received its third consecutive Platinum
rating from EcoVadis for outstanding sustainability performance and validated
best practices earlier this year.
