Naz Hussain
Start-up travel management company TakeTwo Eton Group has recruited Naz Hussain as its group finance director.
Hussain has more than 20 years’ experience in travel and events management including the live touring, entertainment and corporate sectors. He spent seven years as head of finance and IT in the US for The Appointment Group, as well as being senior group accountant at Altour.
In his new role, Hussain will oversee finance for both the TakeTwo and Eton TMC brands in the UK, Europe and US. He will report to TakeTwo Eton CEO Chris Thelen.
Thelen acquired UK-based Eton Travel Group two years ago, shortly after setting up Take Two Travel Solutions in September 2021 with Julie Cope.
“Naz’s name kept coming up my radar within the TMC sector in recent years, so I am delighted to appoint him as our group finance director,” said Thelen.
“He has a wealth of experience within fast-growth travel management companies and will bring tremendous experience to our business. He is well placed to lead our finance function and commercially drive the company forward.’’
Hussain added: ‘’I am delighted to have joined one of the fastest growing TMCs in the business travel industry. I am confident that my previous experiences and skillsets will add value to a fast paced, ever-changing travel environment as we move into the new post-Covid world.’’
