We are excited to welcome a new member to our leadership team this week! Cherrie Tebeau is joining us in a brand-new role as VP, Sourcing & Industry Relations. Cherrie’s extensive background in the incentives industry will benefit everyone at Motivation Excellence, including clients, supplier partners and internal colleagues.
“She is highly respected in our space. Bringing her on board will deepen our already strong vendor partnerships, giving our clients the best pricing and most creative solutions to enhance our programs,” says Bob Graham, President & CEO.
In her 25 years in our industry, Cherrie has held positions in sales and travel buying on the incentive agency side of things, as well as procurement and contract negotiations for a destination management company.
“We are investing even more in our industry relationships through creating this position and filling it with Cherrie. She will be a huge benefit to our existing travel team and all of our clients,” adds Brad Hecht, Sr. VP of Travel & Chief Travel Strategist.
Graham envisions Cherrie’s role as one that will focus on how we provide and position solutions that will elevate our clients’ overall experience.
