Jack Mannix resigned from Ensemble Travel Group, effective immediately, according to a joint statement by Mannix and the organization.
Mannix said he resigned to spend more time with his family. He lives in the Fort Lauderdale area and has commuted to New York for the entire time that he has led Ensemble.
"I have truly enjoyed the challenges and successes associated with running Ensemble Travel Group these past eight-plus years," said Mannix, "and have especially relished the relationships that I have built with literally hundreds of members and suppliers while working with a highly dedicated and capable team of professionals at Ensemble Travel Group. At the same time, I am very much looking forward to having more time with my family, which is the center of my life."
Warren Buckner, Ensemble board member emeritus, said, "Jack has guided Ensemble Travel Group through some of the most challenging times and the organization is grateful for his leadership and many contributions over the years. Ensemble Travel Group would like to thank Jack for leading the growth and development of the only true North American consortium."
Lindsay Pearlman, executive vice president and general manager, will lead in the interim during the search for Mannix’s replacement.
Pearlman has led Ensemble Travel Group Canada for the last three-plus years.
