The Importance of Culture in Corporate Travel
In this episode, I Interview Paul Wait on the Importance of Culture in Corporate Travel.

Paul talks about his time in Scotland, his time at American Express (27 years!), and his time heading the sales teams at Virgin Atlantic. He is one of the rare top managers who really understands the strategic importance of managing and understanding cultural differences.
