Ensemble has named Daniel Finkel senior vice president of partner relations.
Finkel brings more than 13 years of experience to the role, including most recently in a leadership post at Ensemble parent company Navigatr. He has also held the role of chief commercial officer at Fareportal, and before that, chief commercial officer at Navan. Prior to that, Finkel worked in strategy and transformation at Expedia, specifically with the company's leisure air, lodging, corporate travel and advertising divisions.
In his new post, Finkel will head Ensemble's partner strategy, focused on deepening relationships with preferred suppliers and negotiating profitable agreements for members.
"His track record of building win-win partnerships and delivering measurable value for both suppliers and advisors makes him the ideal leader to advance our partner ecosystem," Ensemble president Michael Johnson said in a release. "He also understands our culture and our commitment to improving profitability for both members and partners alike."
Finkel fills the role after the departure of Beth Butzlaff earlier this year. Butzlaff is now Virtuoso's general manager for the U.S. Ensemble said it conducted "an extensive and competitive search process" to fill the role.
