Mondial Assistance rewards easyJet success

Mondial Assistance announces the promotion of Aimee Charlwood to Senior Account Manager for its Corporate and Travel Sales Department. As Business Development Manager, Aimee was responsible for the successful expansion of the prestigious easyJet Travel Insurance account, which saw easyJet’s record profits in 2007. The steady progress of Aimee’s career is a clear illustration of Mondial Assistance’s focus on staff development as part of its overall business growth strategy.

Ben Smart, Head of Business Development at Mondial Assistance comments, “Mondial Assistance has played a key part in easyJet’s record profits for 2007, which soared by 48% to £191 million. Aimee took the lead for this account, driving forward expansion of the travel insurance offering on a pan-European scale. The success speaks for itself and we are recognising Aimee’s achievement by promoting her to Senior Account Manager, where her deep understanding of the business will be used to head up the Account Management Team.”

Aimee joined Mondial Assistance’s sales team in 2003 and within two years she was appointed Business Development Executive for the Automotive Team. In this role she was the driving force behind the co-ordination of new business development and growth. In 2007, she made the move to Business Development Manager for the Mondial Assistance Corporate and Travel Division, where she played a major part in the expansion of the easyJet account. Now Aimee will oversee the Account Management Team, as well as continuing to focus on both the easyJet and Mondial’s CSMA accounts.

She says, “The quality of products and services Mondial Assistance offers means we have been able to build a strong partnership with easyJet, offering online insurance to its customers. Travel insurance was one of the main drivers of the growth in ancillaries for easyJet and by working with Mondial Assistance it was able to offer its customers quality cover across Europe.

“My new position offers me more exciting opportunities and reflects Mondial Assistance’s commitment to recognising and rewarding its staff. I will be able to drive the team forward and create new opportunities for the business, across Europe.”

Ben Smart concludes, “Aimee’s dedication and focus on delivering what has required, means she has quickly forged a successful career at Mondial Assistance. She is a true testament to the employee development opportunities we offer for those determined to succeed.”
