The 45-year-old will succeed Richard J. Vogel who has decided to pursue a new entrepreneurial challenge outside the company.
Meier is currently managing director at Windrose Finest Travel and OFT. She previously worked for tour operator Oger Tours from 2002 to 2010, where her last position was marketing and sales director and board member.
The trained travel agent started her career at Fischer Reisen, where she held various positions before becoming marketing and sales manager.
