Avanti Destinations Hires John Hanratty

Feb 10, 2015

John Hanratty has been appointed chief marketing officer of Avanti Destinations.

“Avanti has had such fantastic growth — doubling revenue in the last four years — that we’ve hardly had time to catch our breath and do some creative, out-of-the-box thinking,” said Harry Dalgaard, president and founder of Avanti. “So we snatched John out of retirement at the beginning of the year and persuaded him to consult with us, focusing on sales and marketing.”
