Bio
After holding multiple marketing positions at G Adventures, Dave Llewellyn found his way into the tech space, where he managed campaigns and demand generation for Hootsuite. But, as is the case with a lot of people, the travel industry pulled him right back in, and he’s now the Director, Channel Marketing & Sales Development position at the Globus family of brands, where he leads the B2B Marketing, CRM, Travel Advisor communications, and Prospecting teams.
When he’s not at work Llewellyn can be found backpacking in Nicaragua, hiking volcanoes in Guatemala, traversing the Gobi Desert in Mongolia, or exploring the Arctic and Antarctic.
Dave Llewellyn is 34 years old.
“It feels like both a massive honour and a huge motivation to be named to TravelPulse's 40 Under 40,” said Llewellyn. “I knew I wanted to work in the travel industry from the moment I started a backpacking trip in South America, and I truly believe we work in the most incredible space out there. But as excited as I am to be recognized, it's even more exciting to think about the future, what travel will look like, and what role my team and I can play in shaping things. There's so much change happening in travel right now, and I'm motivated to keep pushing things forward, while injecting as much fun as I can along the way.”
