Global travel management firm ATPI has strengthened its energy sector support with key leadership changes. Zara Higgins has been appointed to the newly established role of Head of Energy, reflecting the company’s commitment to enhanced service delivery for energy-sector travellers.
Supporting Zara will be Judy ‘JP’ Peplinski, who transitions into a new role as Head of Global Strategy, Energy Division, following her successful tenure as Managing Director USA, Energy Travel.
Taking over JP’s previous position, Ettienne de Swardt has been promoted to Managing Director for the US, advancing from his role as Senior Director of Sales & Account Management, North America.
These leadership changes mark a significant step in ATPI’s strategy to further develop and expand its energy division, one of the company’s key service lines. Renowned for delivering innovative technologies and expert guidance in solving travel-related challenges, ATPI continues to see substantial growth across this key market. Through this restructuring and the establishment of these new positions, ATPI will capitalise on the strengths and dynamic leadership of each newly appointed individual.
Together, Zara, JP, and Ettienne bring over 80 years of combined experience in travel. The trio’s unmatched awareness and understanding of complex travel logistics, paired with their forward-thinking approaches, and longstanding relationships with airline and travel partners, will continue to deliver immense value to ATPI and its customers.
With these new appointments in place, ATPI is well-positioned to maintain its upward trajectory and investment in its energy line over the coming months.
Discussing the restructuring, ATPI CEO Ian Sinderson commented: “This restructuring places us in a fantastic position. Zara, JP, and Ettienne embody the values that ATPI holds dearly and have demonstrated invaluable leadership qualities and a dedication to supporting not just customers but their colleagues too.
We’re fortunate to have these incredibly experienced and versatile individuals within our team. They all bring something unique to their roles that will benefit our customers no matter the location or industry. Already, throughout their time at ATPI, they have all been part of key successes and instrumental in driving our growth in the global energy sector.”
