Laura is a people person through and through. Since joining Travel & Co in 2017, she’s built her career on one simple belief — that strong relationships are the foundation of great travel experiences. In her role as Ski Wholesale Account Manager, she’s the connector, the go-to, the person trade partners know they can pick up the phone to and get a straight, knowledgeable answer from someone who genuinely cares.

It’s not just professional either. Laura has skied Banff, Sun Peaks, Whistler, Nozawa Onsen, Courchevel, Méribel, and Zermatt — so when she’s talking to trade partners about a resort, she’s drawing from real experience, not a fact sheet. That firsthand knowledge means she can help the people she works with sell snow holidays with the kind of confidence that only comes from actually being there.

For Laura, the best part of the job is the relationships she builds along the way — with trade partners, with colleagues, and with the industry she’s genuinely passionate about. She’s not just managing accounts. She’s invested in the success of every person she works with.

“Get out and experience the resorts yourself whenever you can. There is simply no substitute for firsthand knowledge — your clients will feel the difference immediately.”
