Celebrity Cruises has today confirmed senior leadership appointments aligned under three newly defined regions. The following appointments are effective immediately and will report into President & CEO, Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, as part of the new single-branded global structure.
Australia and APAC have been realigned and Susan Bonner will rejoin the team as VP and Managing Director – Australia, New Zealand and APAC. Susan is working to build the new team in the region with the support of Apple Woo who has been promoted to Director of Asia, based in Singapore.
Susan previously served as Vice President and Managing Director of Australia and New Zealand for Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises and Azamara. Prior to that Susan held a number of senior roles, including Vice President of Celebrity Cruises’ Revenue Management and Onboard Revenue.
Jo Rzymowska, current VP and Managing Director of Celebrity Cruises UK & Ireland and Asia, has successfully led the UK and Ireland territory for six years and the region has been trusted with the exciting launch of the brand’s new Edge Class ship, Celebrity Apex, in March. With EMEA becoming single branded, the European markets will now be added to the UK and Ireland market to become one region led by Jo.
“The Americas”, comprising the US, Canada, Mexico and South America, will be managed and led by Dondra Ritzenthaler, SVP Celebrity Sales, and Keith Lane, VP Field Sales Celebrity. Mexico and South America will have a dedicated Director reporting into Keith.
These appointments follow the proposed restructure announced in November 2019 that will see all Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (RCCL) brands move to a dedicated single brand structure internationally.
