Preferred Travel names manager of travel and operations

Preferred Travel & Company, a family owned and operated full-service travel agency headquartered in Naples, announced that Marianne White, who is marking her 30th anniversary with the firm this year, was promoted to Manager of Travel & Operations.

In this new role, she oversees the agency’s daily operations working closely with the executive team.

White launched her career in the travel industry in 1979 at Naples’ first travel agency, Naples Travel. She became part of the Preferred Travel team in 1995 when then owner and founder Wilma Boyd acquired Naples Travel. Since then, White has become a steady and trusted presence.

“Working with Marianne for 30 years has been one of the greatest blessings of my career,” said Olga Placeres, President of Preferred Travel & Company. “She brings so much heart and thoughtfulness to everything she does and has quietly helped carry this company forward, year after year. We are delighted to announce her promotion to this important role with our firm.”
