It’s International Women’s Day today (April 8) and leading global travel management company, Egencia, announced it has enlarged its Global Leadership Team to include four women leaders.
The latest to join the team is Wendy White as its vice president of marketing, tasked with leading all global marketing functions for the rapidly growing company.

White’s hire follows the appointment of three additional female leaders to the global team – Mieke De Schepper, chief commercial officer; Verena Funke, interim managing director, APAC; and Teresa Matheson, managing director, Australia.
“For Egencia to reach its aggressive growth goals, we need a world-class marketing organisation willing to make bold moves. We’re confident Wendy’s expertise will help us achieve this audacious goal,” Rob Greyber, president of Egencia, said of the appointment in a statement:
He looks forward to seeing White “accelerate the path for the next generation of women entrepreneurs and business leaders within Egencia”.
White said she was proud to join a company that has been recognised for its commitment to fostering women in the workplace. “Within the global marketing organisation alone, the diversity across gender and cultural background places us in the best position to address complex problems, improve decision-making, drive forward innovation and ultimately set us up for success.”
According to Egencia, it is aligned with Expedia Inc.’s commitment to gender and other diversity representation at all levels. Expedia has achieved 100% gender pay parity across women and men in equivalent roles, with 35% of leadership positions held by women.
