Our Leadership

Having been part of the JTB Group for more than 30 years, Shinji Kamio has an in-depth understanding and experience across numerous functions, businesses, and geographies.

As head of M&A of JTB Group, he led the deal to acquire Kuoni GTS in 2017 and was appointed Deputy CEO of Kuoni Tumlare (2018-20). Prior to this, his experience was in Corporate Strategy at Travel Plaza Europe and Tumlare, Inbound Marketing at JTB Japan, and MICE & Group sales.

Now as CEO of the JTB Europe Group (Jan 20-), Shinji Kamio oversees all of its businesses – leading strategy, planning and organisation.

Tim spent 13 years with DHL Deutsche Post, holding several positions including Board Member Asia Pacific (responsible for Sales & Marketing) and Global Head of Sales Strategy & Business Development in Bonn, Germany.

As COO, Destination Management, Tim is responsible for driving growth from 18 source markets and generating group sales to 40+ destination countries, leading a team of over 700 employees across Sales and Destination Offices.

Marco joined Kuoni back in 1997 where he held various management positions in Contracting and Operations for Groups and FIT, growing in scope and rank over the years as part of the Kuoni Destination Management team.

With the acquisition of GTA Travel by the Kuoni Group in 2011 he was in charge of the integration of the Procurement divisions between, at that time, the largest Group Travel companies worldwide.  He has since held several leadership roles across the business, leading the transformation of the procurement organisation and lead integration between business units and companies.

As COO, MICE Europe, Marco heads Kuoni Tumlare's Meetings & Events and Congress businesses, leading his team on strategy and delivery.
