Bio
Mark Lazic
I had the pleasure of being managed by Toby since I began at Corporate Traveller and was impressed from the start of his expertise in sales and the travel industry. Toby is a high performing sales leader who has a great ability to effectively connect and network with his internal and external customers. He is a great model to myself and the aspiring novices on what it takes to be successful in this company and position. I wish him all the success in the new adventure in the UAE.
Kerry-Anne Bighi
Toby and I met at Corporate Traveller in Australia, where I was his Business Development Manager and he our State Sales Leader in Queensland. As one of the highest performing BDM’s in Corporate Traveller Australia, Toby quickly became a leader who encompasses passion, excellent work ethic and business acumen in his everyday dealings. I have witnessed him excel at the core elements of leading his team and he proves to be an exceptional role model when presenting our brand and selling its benefits.
