Transat Distribution Canada General Manager Karine Gagnon has announced the appointment of Dianne Jackson as Director, Franchise and Affiliate Members at TDC, effective September 11.

In this role, Jackson will be responsible for the success and growth of the TDC Network's franchise and affiliate travel agency program for all provinces except Quebec.

She will also be responsible for the renewal and recruitment process of new franchises and affiliates, as well as maintaining strong business relationships with TDC members and key players in the industry. 

Jackson brings over 30 years of experience in the Canadian travel industry, with experience in tour operations, retail travel, travel insurance and travel technology.

She has held leadership roles with various organizations including CAA Travel, Red Label, Allianz Global Assistance and Signature Vacations. As well as previously owning a travel agency, Jackson co-owned a chain of discount stores as a franchisee. She most recently owned and lead Reps4Rent, a company offering a range of services through a network of independent sales professionals.

Reps4Rent will continue to operate, with Cassandra Jackson, Dianne's daughter, assuming the role of President and sole company owner.

“(Jackson’s) experience, her strong leadership and her passion for travel makes her a truly valuable and strong addition to the TDC team,” said Gagnon. “Please join me in welcoming Dianne to her new role.”
