Prior, he was the Director of Sales for Resorts World Bimini and led the pre-opening hotel team for Hilton at Resorts World Bimini, a 305-room marina property in The Bahamas. Now, as president of Sky-tours USA, Black will lead the brand’s strategy and identify new distribution channels, create winning relationships with key partners, and leverage his business skills to develop winning solutions throughout the partner-client lifecycle.
