After a stellar and impactful (nearly) 30-year career with us, we're bidding farewell to our DMC High Performance Manager Carl Needham, who is heading into retirement, with plenty of travel and adventure still to come. Based in Asia for most of his career, Carl first joined Intrepid as a trip leader before moving into operations, where he has since been instrumental in accelerating the growth of our country offices in the region. Carl is a member of the Intrepid Hall of Fame, which recognises team members who have made an outstretched contribution to our business, in honour of his achievements and for embodying Intrepid's values. In recent years, Carl has been a mentor for many team members across the world, in particular our country General Managers, as he’s generously shared his in-depth knowledge of responsible travel with the next generation. Join us in thanking Carl and wishing him the best for his next adventure! 👏

Its hard to put into words the impact that Carl Needham has had on our business and the industry, growth, passion, calm in the face of adversity, strategic, together, impact, purpose, legend and Intrepid Hall of Fame, an acute ability to just get things done and the list goes on. But, your support and mentorship throughout my Intrepid journey is what I appreciate the most, thank you and all the best for the next adventure!
