Wizme, a meetings and groups management platform, has appointed Trevor Elswood as non-executive director.
Elswood has worked previously at Capita Travel and Events as chief commercial officer.
In joining the Wizme team Trevor Elswood said: “The Wizme proposition is a stand out for me and particularly relevant to the new era we face in meetings and travel, where corporates, venues and intermediaries will need something very different from the very limited options currently available. Managing meetings will be at the centre of travel management thinking in the future, given people are invariably travelling to interact and connect. Wizme is addressing the frustrations felt by meeting bookers, agencies and venues with technology that reduces operating costs, drives higher value from meetings spend and improves quality. The power of the intuitive and intelligent platform matches the needs of the supplier and will be a game changer.
“With the current challenges’ intermediaries, corporates and venues are facing due to Covid-19, the relevance of this technology couldn’t be more valuable. Intermediaries will be looking to reduce cost, increase productivity, provide revenue opportunities and secure customer retention. Corporates require better control and spend management through clear visibility, authorisation and internal space management. Everyone will see the need to simplify and consolidate requirements into a single, uncompromised system, for small and large meetings; the gap I see Wizme filling.”
Founder and CEO of Wizme, Nour Mouakke, added: “I am delighted to welcome Trevor to the Wizme team. Trevor has a background of extensive leadership, experience in specialist meetings and events, and is a leader of specialist agency brands in this focused sector. Wizme is at a very exciting stage of development as we head into pilots and I look forward to working closely with Trevor as we strive to deliver great things for the industry.”
