AmaWaterways has expanded its executive team with two new senior vice presidents.

Angel Christopher Gomez, has been appointed senior vice president, global consumer sales and service, and Sezin Aksoy will serve as senior vice president, revenue management, insights and analytics.

Gomez formerly served as associate vice president at Celebrity Cruises, overseeing global sales and service operations, and led initiatives to fortify guest engagement and team development.

In his new position, Gomez will collaborate with “key departments to expand omnichannel capabilities and further elevate the guest and travel advisor experience,” AmaWaterways said.

Askoy, who began her career in revenue management and corporate sales at American Airlines, is charged with leading “efforts to strengthen analytical capabilities, optimize revenue strategies and support sustainable, strategic growth across the organization,” AmaWaterways said.

She formerly served as senior vice president of global strategy and analytics at AXS, a global ticketing platform, which is a division of AEG, a sports and live entertainment company.

At AmaWaterways, Askoy will “lead efforts to strengthen analytical capabilities, optimize revenue strategies and support sustainable, strategic growth across the organization,” AmaWaterways said.

“With the momentum we’re experiencing globally, it’s more important than ever that we continue to strengthen our leadership team with individuals who bring both deep expertise and alignment with our culture,” said AmaWaterways CEO Catherine Powell, CEO of AmaWaterways.

“Angel and Sezin are passionate, purpose-driven leaders whose talents will help us elevate the guest experience and make more data-informed decisions that support our long-term vision.”
