Gifted Travel Network (GTN) has expanded its leadership team with two new hires, a promotion and co-founder Meredith Calloway stepping into the role of chief growth officer.
In her new role, Calloway's focus will be on expanding GTN's reach via national speaking engagements and thought leadership. Internally, her focus will be on creating new opportunities for advisor growth as well as attracting advisors to GTN.
Additionally, Mary Pingpank Clifford has joined GTN as its vice president of sales and marketing. Clifford brings more than two decades of experience to the role, most recently as vice president of supplier relations and event strategy at Chase Travel Group. Clifford spent 16 years with Valerie Wilson Travel, which was acquired by Frosch in 2021 and then Chase in 2022.
Meghann Bjarnesen has been named vice president of advisor success. The new role is an expansion of her previous leadership as GTN's Travel Business University lead mentor and program manager. She brings additional operations experience to the role after time with UnitedHealth Group and Evernorth.
Alvin Adriano has been named vice president of advisor development. Adriano, most recently director of education at ASTA, brings more than 20 years of experience to the position.
"We're investing ahead of where we're going because our advisors are building serious businesses, and they deserve an organization with the talent, resources and infrastructure to match their ambitions," Jennifer Cochrane, CEO of GTN, said in a release.
GTN is a subsidiary of Trevello World Holdings.
