kabarsula Webjet Group hires ex-Flight Centre exec Brent Novak as chief commercial officer bandar SLOT INDONESIA

Webjet Group has appointed Brent Novak as its first chief commercial officer, adding to a leadership team it is reshaping as it works to lift performance.

Novak joins in January 2027 and will lead commercial strategy across the group, reporting to group CEO and managing director Nicole Sheffield.

He was most recently general manager of Flight Centre Australia, where he oversaw a network of more than 330 locations and more than 2000 frontline staff. His earlier roles at Flight Centre, Flight Centre Business Travel, Corporate Traveller and FCM Travel took his P&L accountability from about $200 million to more than $5 billion in annual transaction value.

Webjet said he brings more than 20 years’ experience across Australia, Canada and the UK, spanning leisure and corporate travel, with a background in distribution, pricing, product and supplier partnerships.

Sheffield said: “I’m delighted to welcome Brent to Webjet. He brings deep travel industry knowledge, strong commercial experience and a proven track record of turning strategy into sustainable growth and stronger performance.

“Brent understands the commercial side of travel, from distribution, pricing and product to supplier partnerships, and knows how to turn those capabilities into value for customers and the business.”

Novak’s appointment follows that of Marcus Williams, who joined Webjet in October as chief customer officer. Williams was previously a consultant to retail, health and eCommerce businesses, and before that spent more than four years leading Xero’s global small business channel. He has also held senior roles at Catapult Sports and News Corp, and spent more than eight years at SEEK.

Webjet said the two appointments would support its strategic priorities, including using data, AI and technology to improve customer outcomes and operating performance.
