Luxury Link's Bob Bennett Promoted to COO
LOS ANGELES, CA (November 10, 2009) - Luxury Link, a leading luxury travel site, has announced the promotion of Bob Bennett to the newly created role of Chief Operating Officer.
Bob joined Luxury Link in 2008 as Chief Product Officer overseeing product management and development, technology, marketing and customer support. He has been instrumental in making numerous site upgrades over the past year, including streamlining the purchase process, perfecting merchandising practices and enhancing Luxury Link's already outstanding customer service. These changes and Bob's leadership over improvements in the Company's marketing efforts have led to a record number of buyers and room nights booked for hotel clients this year, with two months left to go.
In his expanded leadership role, Bob will be focusing on increasing consumer awareness of Luxury Link among online travel buyers while continuing to enhance the site to better serve Luxury Link customers and add even more marketing value for luxury hoteliers and advertisers.

Given his impact it's no surprise that we're having the best year in our 13 year history and we expect even better results in 2010.
