De las Moras joins ALG from Valtur Milan, where he held the positions of chief commercial officer and chief marketing officer with the mission of transforming the traditional tour operator into a hotel chain with 15 hotels across Italy and Croatia.
Prior to his time with Valtur Milan, Jordi was with Meliá Hotels International for 17 years, where he held several positions including serving as commercial director for Spain’s leisure hotels in the Spanish coast, Balearic and Canary Islands, and senior sales and contracting director leisure for Global Europe and Russia.
