Wendy Davis, the founder and driving force behind Zebrano Travel for nearly two decades, has announced her retirement. Known for her dedication to crafting personalized luxury travel experiences for clients in Toronto and beyond, Davis officially stepped down as owner on 02DEC 2024.
Anna Judek, a seasoned professional in the luxury travel industry, will succeed her and lead Zebrano Travel into its next chapter.
“I hope to continue the legacy of Zebrano Travel and to uphold the values and mission of this incredible organization in providing outstanding service, impeccable attention to detail and invaluable expertise for luxury clients. Seeing firsthand what Virtuoso is about and how the organization cares for its member agencies made me want to embrace the travel advisor profession and become an owner. I have big shoes to fill and will learn from Wendy’s contributions and years of experience.” Judek said.
Most recently, Judek served as Director of Marketing for Virtuoso Canada, where she led efforts to increase brand awareness and expand the reach of Virtuoso’s preferred partners in the Canadian luxury leisure market. Her career has also included leadership roles at RBC and American Express.
Davis, who has been deeply involved in the Virtuoso network both locally and globally, will continue to contribute her expertise as Owner Emeritus for two years to ensure a smooth transition.
“I have a tremendous amount of pride in Zebrano Travel and how this agency cares for a very special group of ultra-high net worth clients. My focus has always been the client and ensuring they have an epic experience when they travel. The Zebrano ‘dream team’ will remain in place and will continue the extraordinary work that they do. I will work side-by-side with Anna to ensure there is a continued level of service and the reputation of Zebrano Travel lives on. The next two years will be a new adventure, and I look forward to passing on the reigns to Anna," said Davis.
