PhoCusWright's Research Team Welcomes Two New Additions
Sherman, Conn. USA, February 28, 2008—PhoCusWright is pleased to announce the addition of two new staff members: Douglas Quinby, joining the company as senior director, research, and Carroll Rheem, joining as director, research.
Rheem will be contributing in-depth market reports, survey findings and analysis for The PhoCusWright Subscription: Global Edition and Special Reports, as well as serving custom client needs. She comes to the company with six years of experience at Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, where she worked in various positions encompassing hotel operations, sales and online distribution. She holds a Master of Management in Hospitality from the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration and a BA in Economics from New York University.
"As a former client, I appreciated the forward-looking, globally relevant business intelligence that is PhoCusWright's signature, and I am truly excited to now be part of the team that creates it," said Rheem.
Quinby will also conduct research for The PhoCusWright Subscription: Global Edition and Special Reports. He has been contributing to PhoCusWright research as a leisure travel analyst for many years, most recently on the cruise and packaging surveys in PhoCusWright's U.S. Online Travel Overview Seventh Edition, PhoCusWright's Canadian Online Travel Overview and PhoCusWright's Travel Agency Distribution Landscape (which Quinby shaped, implemented, managed and presented).
In addition to providing research and analysis, media relations and marketing services to leading travel technology companies, Quinby has served as director of marketing and communications for Atinera and as packaged travel and technology editor for Leisure Travel News. His articles have appeared in Travel Weekly, ASTA Agency Management and Travel Counselor magazines. Douglas also conceived and oversaw Travel Technology News, a supplement to Leisure Travel News, a publication devoted to technology and the Internet in the leisure travel industry.
