Global luxury and experiential travel network Virtuoso announced the appointment of Angeles Yugdar as its new general manager in Latin America and the Caribbean. 

A seasoned industry leader with more than 25 years of experience in the global luxury travel space, Yugdar steps into the role following Bea Sajon’s transition to general manager for Continental Europe.

Yugdar will lead the business strategy across the region, including member and partner growth and engagement.

Virtuoso senior vice-president for global operations Michael Londregan said of this newest appointment: “Latin America was Virtuoso’s first international market and continues to be a strategic priority for our global network. Angeles brings a wealth of experience to a region that is as diverse as it is dynamic. We look forward to supporting her leadership as she builds on the strength of our exceptional team in-market and joins our roster of nine general managers around the globe.”

Yugdar’s appointment reinforces Virtuoso’s presence of over two decades in Latin America, where the network includes more than 105 member agency locations across 16 countries. 

She will leverage her extensive experience in the region to manage teams in São Paulo, Buenos Aires and Mexico City.
