Jason Dunderdale, formerly Global Director of Sales and Account Management for Blacklane, has joined Kintela Group as an Associate Partner.
Dunderdale, who left Blacklane as part of a shake-up earlier this year, said in his new role he will be “focused on helping clients accelerate growth through sharper positioning, tighter pipeline discipline, and stronger enterprise sales execution”.
Kintela Group said he brings “deep commercial leadership across travel, mobility and travel tech, with a track record of building high-performing sales teams and scaling revenue”.
“He’ll work closely with our clients on go-to-market strategy, pipeline discipline and enterprise sales execution to drive sustainable growth,” said a statement.
Before joining Blacklane, Dunderdale was Head of Sales Europe for FREENOW and before that Head of Sales for travel management company FCm Travel Solutions UK.
Kintela was established last June and is a communications and “live experiences” firm looking to bring “sharper messaging, stronger engagement, and more meaningful moments to organisations” across the business travel sector.
The Kintela team includes Martin Ferguson, former VP of Global Communications, Public Affairs and Events at American Express GBT, Sallyanne Heywood, a senior communications and marketing strategist with experience at HRG and Amex GBT, Karen Hutchings, former Global Head of Travel, Meetings & Events at EY, and event host and director Nigel Mead.
