Alex Pinelo joined AmaWaterways a year ago as a director
AmaWaterways promoted Alex Pinelo to the newly created position of VP national accounts. The company said this reflects the expanded responsibility and senior-level leadership that Pinelo has exhibited since joining Ama a year ago as director, Latin American sales, and most recently taking on responsibility as director, national accounts.

A seasoned professional with more than 20 years of experience in the travel industry, Pinelo has held senior leadership positions driving sales growth through national account management, as well as charters and incentive groups. Before joining AmaWaterways, he served as VP of key accounts for Norwegian Cruise Line.

Experience, energy and enthusiasm

'AmaWaterways places tremendous value on the close relationships we have built with our national account partners,' said Gary Murphy, co-owner and VP sales. 'Alex’s wealth of experience, his energy and enthusiasm, and especially his ability to educate and motivate our travel agent partners has proven instrumental in leading our sales team and travel partner to improve their sales results consistently.'
