Landry & Kling Appoints Jenny De Borja Account Executive for Strategic Partnerships
Landry & Kling Inc., pioneering specialists in meetings at sea, incentive cruises, and ship charters, announced that accomplished sales professional Jenny de Borja has joined Landry & Kling, and will serve as the company’s new Account Executive for Strategic Partnerships, a newly created position.
With more than 15 years of sales management experience working with cruise lines and hotel properties, de Borja is adept at building relationships and helping clients plan successful corporate meetings, conferences, and incentives on land and at sea.

In this new position, de Borja will support travel management companies, meetings procurement companies and incentive travel specialists, who are seeking cruise sourcing expertise and operational support for all types of events at sea.
“2012 brings endless opportunities to sell the sea!”
From her base in South Florida, the “cruise capital of the world,” de Borja will help Landry & Kling’s partners meet the increasing number of requests from their clients who are seeking unique, cost-effective meeting venues.
“I am very excited to develop and support strategic partnerships with Landry & Kling,” said de Borja. “2012 brings endless opportunities to sell the sea!”
Prior to joining Landry & Kling, de Borja served as Senior Sales Manager for Starwood Hotels & Resorts. Previous positions include Regional Sales Manager for Sea Cloud Cruises, and Incentive Sales Manager for Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.
“We are delighted to welcome Jenny de Borja onboard,” said Mark Phillips, COO, Landry & Kling. “Her combined experience in corporate cruises and hotel sales will help bridge the gap between land and sea for our strategic partners.”
