I am both humbled and thrilled to be a part of the team responsible for designing and achieving the next phase for Rocky Mountaineer,” he continued.
"We are incredibly pleased to welcome David to the team. He is no stranger to the impact the pandemic has had on tourism, and his experience and fortitude in strengthening business foundations, identifying, and developing new tourism opportunities, and engaging and coaching team members will be essential to the long-term success of this company," said Peter Armstrong, Founder, Rocky Mountaineer.
