In his new role, Jones will oversee key areas of Cunard’s marketing and sales strategies, driving growth and strengthening the brand’s presence globally while delivering sales strategies across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

Katie McAlister, president of Cunard, said: “We are delighted to welcome David to our leadership team at such a crucial moment for our brand. His experience will be instrumental as we continue to build our global marketing presence.”

Jones appointment comes after Struthers departs Cunard

The appointment comes after former VP of global marketing and EMEA sales for the line Struthers left the business following the inaugural events for new ship Queen Anne.

Struthers worked for Cunard since 2013, leading brand development, marketing, PR and events, trade relations in the UK and across EMEA, and digital transformation.
