Joe Currie has more than 20 years of experience in the corporate travel world. He grew up learning from his parents, who owned a global corporate travel agency with strong client ties to the automobile industry. As a child he learned the ins and outs of the industry over the dinner table, and that knowledge continues to serve him well. While he got his start working for Total Travel Management/Global Experts in Travel, he took a hiatus from travel to explore one of his other great loves, writing. For several years he worked in Los Angeles, as an actor and writer, before returning to the world of travel.

In his current role at Egencia, Mr. Currie is a District Sales Manager for the Southeast Region. Mr. Currie is the current president of the GBTA North Carolina Chapter, and enjoys the opportunity to connect with other members of the travel community. In his time as president the North Carolina Chapter of GBTA has hosted numerous networking and educational events, increased membership and raised money for a variety of charities including Wine to Water, several North Carolina Children's Hospitals and Step Up for Soldiers. Raised in the suburbs of Detroit, Mr. Currie has also lived in Boston, Los Angeles and Tampa. With years of urban living under his belt, he is now embracing small-town life in Hillsborough, NC with his wife and two sons.
