Nanette Spangenberg
@nanettespangenberg
I grow B2B travel partnerships through account management, tailored itineraries, and high-touch client service.
What I'm looking for
At African Bush Camps, I build B2B travel agency relationships, deliver product training, and manage multi-camp itineraries and bookings from proposal through execution. I use Tourplan and HubSpot to track opportunities, exceed sales targets, and provide solution-driven support during urgent travel situations.
I've also designed luxury safaris at African Safari Group and coordinated corporate travel, conferences, incentives, and events at Africadabra DMC & Events. My experience across luxury travel, hospitality, events, and sport management helps me balance client expectations, supplier relationships, logistics, and service under pressure.
