DeAnne Bell Joins Allianz Partners USA as Director of Partnerships

RICHMOND, VA, July 18, 2024 – Allianz Partners USA has announced that DeAnne Bell has joined the Henrico, VA-based travel insurance and assistance company as Director of Partnerships.  Bell joins Allianz Partners after spending more than a decade in the travel industry, most recently working as an assistant vice president for account management and trade relations at another travel insurance provider.  Her new duties include supporting the company’s retail distribution channel and the travel advisor partners who offer Allianz Travel Insurance to their valued clients. Bell will also support the company’s growing tour and cruise distribution channel and oversee and manage retail middleware partnerships and new technology initiatives.

Bell recently received the Female Leaders in Travel Luminary Award, presented by the Travel A.L.L.I.E.S. Society at its 6^th annual Female Leaders in Travel conclave at Sandals Royal Bahamian in early July.  The award is given to female leaders who light the way for other women, constantly set high standards and illuminate a path for others to follow. Past recipients of the award have included top executives at Hyatt, Globus, Classic Vacations and Collette.

“We’re thrilled to have someone with DeAnne’s level of experience and expertise join our growing team of retail distribution channel experts,” said Richard Aquino, head of sales at Allianz Partners USA. “Our travel advisor partners are valued both by us and consumers for their important role in planning memorable, carefree trips for their clients.  We’re happy to have DeAnne on board to support the important contribution that travel advisors make to the travel industry.”
