He will also help to identify new markets and develop and implement offers and incentives. He will report directly to Tara Russell, president of Fathom and global impact lead for Carnival Corporation. 

“Ron is a goal driven leader who has a history of exceeding sales goals and objectives at every stage of his illustrious career, and a proven track record identifying and leveraging like-minded partnerships within the trade and affinity space,” said Russell. “Ron is the perfect complement for our growing team as we prepare for our first sailing, which is less than 100 days away. We are ready to make an impact on a scale the world has never seen.”

He began his career as a sales associate for Eastern Light Getaways in 1990.  

“I am thrilled to join the Fathom team and lead the operation to new successes by leveraging the strong programs and strategies already in place,” said Fenska. “I am eager to help drive Fathom’s growth, and help the brand reach travelers who are searching for meaningful experiences and are looking to make a difference.”
