The Holiday Extras Benelux team is being strengthened by the addition of Kristof Perez, who is taking up the role of Partnership Development Manager Benelux with immediate effect. In this role, Kristof will focus primarily on existing and new partners in Belgium and Luxembourg.
Kristof is a familiar face in the travel industry. Until recently, he worked at Pitch Perfect for clients such as Iberostar Hotels & Resorts, PortAventura World, La Méridionale and Gorgonia Beach Resort. Prior to that, Kristof spent many years working globally for Thomas Cook and held various roles at De Blauwe Vogel, Belvilla and Maasmechelen Village.
Bjorn Gianotten, Country Manager Benelux at Holiday Extras: “I am delighted that Kristof is joining us. Holiday Extras has a strong portfolio of airport parking, hotels and lounges for Brussels Zaventem and Charleroi, as well as virtually all other (cross-border) airports in the Benelux region. Kristof knows the market and the market knows him. That is exactly what we need to continue growing in these key markets as part of our European expansion.”
Kristof Perez, Partnership Development Manager for the Benelux at Holiday Extras: “I am very excited to be joining Holiday Extras and I am really looking forward to taking on this new challenge. Holiday Extras is a dynamic company and is growing strongly in the Benelux and across Europe. This makes it the ideal time for me to join forces with Bjorn Gianotten and Björn Merlet to help drive this exciting story forward. I’m particularly looking forward to meeting new and existing partners in the travel industry in this role, discovering great opportunities together and putting Holiday Extras even more firmly on the map. I’m really looking forward to it. Let’s paint Europe purple!”
With the addition of Kristof, the Benelux Commercial Team now consists of four people: Bjorn Gianotten (Country Manager Benelux), Björn Merlet and Kristof Perez (both Partnership Development Managers Benelux) and Bart Mocking (Customer Implementation Manager Benelux).
