Meet Our Group Ambassadors

Bob Calzini – Director of Group Sales

I recently joined Vantage’s Group Sales Department and I’m super excited to work with this amazing team! As Director of Group Sales, I look forward to helping our Group Travel Program grow by forming lasting and meaningful relationships with our clients. I love visiting new places, exploring the landscapes, and learning about the different cultures across the globe. I recently traveled to the Netherlands and Iceland, two vastly different (and remarkable!) destinations I would recommend to anyone looking for a new journey. It’s always been my dream to visit Italy, and I can’t wait to explore its top cultural capitals, including Milan, Venice, and Rome.

Cheryl Sheehan – Group Sales Ambassador

Seeing the world and experiencing different cultures has always been a passion of mine. My first experience traveling was to London as a Girl Scout when I was 12, followed by several trips to Florida with my high school marching band. After receiving my Bachelor of Music degree from Berklee College, I stumbled into the world of travel as a travel agent. My 24 years in the industry enabled me to learn all aspects of travel, including Customer Concierge Staff services, marketing, sales, and management. My favorite pastime is talking about travel. I enjoy listening to others’ vacation stories and love to envision their experiences. When I am not singing in church or my local choral society, I enjoy traveling around the world with my husband and son. My favorite destinations include Holland, Israel, Portugal, Italy, Hawaii, and central Florida. I look forward to sharing my love for travel with you and your group.

Alessandra Spilotro – Group Sales Digital Marketing Coordinator

Beginning my career in Vantage’s customer service department, I learned what our customers want and expect when booking a deluxe travel package. Now, I love using that knowledge to provide our travelers with the best group travel experience possible. Having traveled all over the world to destinations including Italy, Egypt, and Greece, I have a great perspective on what makes an international travel experience most enjoyable. Plus, working alongside such a great group of helpful colleagues makes every day exciting for me! When I’m not working, I enjoy exercising, the outdoors, and spending time with friends and family.

Kurt Martell – Group Sales Ambassador

I have had the pleasure of working at Vantage for over six years.  Every day I come to work I know that it is going to be a good day, because I get to help people live out their dreams of traveling the world!  I feel confident in the quality of our product and know that every group travel experience will be unique and unforgettable with Vantage.  I look forward to working with all Group Leaders and ensure that I will do everything I can to make the process as easy as possible for the journey of a lifetime!  I recently had the opportunity to travel with Vantage CEO Henry Lewis on the Croatia & the Adriatic Coast journey aboard the private yacht, La Perla.  We experienced the culture, cuisine, and history of one of the most beautiful areas of the world as a small private group.  This is one trip that I suggest all Group Leaders take – it is the experience of a lifetime!
