I have 40 years of experience, and specialize in the field of travel management with specific knowledge in the areas of cost-avoidance, risk management and collective buying. I have published on such topics as risk management, travel management and negotiation techniques. I have testified 30 times on topics such as risk management, travel taxes and how they are used and benefits of managed corporate and sports travel. I am one of the most sought after consultants on travel-related issues, both leisure and business travel…especially on cost-avoidance issues, travel risk management, collective buying and the art of negotiations.
