Legend has it Sean started out his career in Finance, but cast off to start Moniker after attending on a number of "President Club' trips and believing he could do it better. Fast forward over a decade, with some amazing adventures around the globe with his trusty sidekick Winston, and here we are. 

Sean plays the role of creative devil's advocate, always asking "what more" and figuring out ways to squeeze in that little extra personality to create truly bucket-list worthy programs for our clients.

Alex and Sean met many moons ago, when Sean joined him as employee #8 in helping build out a new division for his Youth Travel company. 15+ years later, with over 200 employees and steering the helm of one of Canada's fastest growing companies, it's safe to say that Alex knows the travel industry inside out.

Alex advises on the strategy and growth of Moniker, ensuring the lessons and experience he's learned in his journey are instilled in Moniker's core - a commitment to focusing on the guest experience, and always striving to surprise and delight.

As Head of Marketing and People, Steph wears many hats at Moniker. She's a straight West Coast'er, and her laid back demeanour makes the whole team feel at ease. A nomad at heart, she’s working her way through Central and South America while working hard to ensure that our company culture continues to thrive.

Steph oversees our efforts to share the joy (and wisdom) with companies around the world, as well as see through the design and execution of all the hare-brained ideas the rest of the group comes up with.  Custom-themed agendas? No problem. Travel-Themed Adult Colouring books for our clients? Now we're talkin'!

A native of Simcoe, Ontario, Sydney brings some serious operational chops to the Moniker team from almost a decade managing hundreds of high-school & university programs across North America with our sister companies, I Love Travel & Breakaway Tours.

Her eye for detail and logistics make her a perfect fit for coordinating all the behind-the-scenes planning that go into our programs, ensuring no detail is overlooked and on-site execution is flawless. Known for her dry-wit and love of Bud Light, in her free time Sydney enjoys Karaoke and impressing the world with her Celine Dion impersonation.

From Johannesburg, South Africa, Tracey joins the Moniker crew by heading up the Research & Proposals Team. She helps us keep on top of our destination research and pulls together all of our travel proposals!

Her experience in corporate events and wedding planning makes her a great fit to plan adventures for our clients, while her first-hand experience traveling extensively through Asia and Africa brings another dimension to the research team.

A self-professed "crazy cat lady" and hopeless chocoholic, Tracey enjoys the more peaceful side of things in her spare time, reading, whittling away on arts and crafts, painting, or finding new ways to avoid vegetables in her vegetarian diet.

Amanda brings her keen eye for travel and event planning to our Operations Team, bolstered by over a decade of experience managing events for the Toronto Film Festival and other swanky clientele across Canada (she's fancy like that).

Her passion for creating memorable experiences (particularly around a great meal) makes her the perfect fit to lead our Trip Planning division, as well as oversee the execution of our Virtual Experiences and the facilitator team.

In her spare time, Amanda loves exploring the great outdoors either on the road with the sunroof down, or on the ATV trails near her hometown of Keswick, Ontario. Indoors, she's known for being a bit of a 'sushi savant', and kicking back on the couch with the latest Reality TV with her dog, Rebel.

Our resident "Mountain Man", if there's a job in the wild, chances are Andrew's had it. Ski Patrol? Check. Whitewater Kayak Instructor? Check. Spartan Race Medic? Somehow, even that too.  To say he's big on the great outdoors (and every Canadian cliche) is an understatement. Andrew lives, breathes, and (literally) eats the wilderness.

Andrew joins the Moniker team from his home within the Rocky Mountains, in Canmore, AB, leading the Trip Planning & Operations team where he brings his talents to coordinating gobs of detail and data into seamless execution of our retreats. He's also a licensed Medic which comes in handy when our guests have a little too much fun on destination!

Joining the team after a 10+ year career managing mega-sized youth travel programs, Teagan knows what it takes to deliver amazing customer service with a can-do attitude towards solving problems!

Teagan oversees the planning and execution of our Virtual Experiences division and applying her guest-facing experience to our clients during events.

When she's not behind the screen, she's usually found out on the volleyball court, out for a hike with her dog Fozzie, or hustling her way around a pool hall.

From Alberta Beach, AB, Krista joins us with extensive experience in all things accounting, bookkeeping, event-planning and travel. Truly a numbers whiz, Krista lends her talents as our Program Controller.  A seasoned traveler who loves immersing herself in the local culture, Krista loves spending her time outdoors, either hiking, cross country skiing, kayaking or even doing some gardening and farming in her tractor. A country girl through and through! When she’s not outside she loves spending time with her husband and two daughters, or her giant goofy bull mastiff Oscar. As if that wasn’t enough, she also loves painting. We can barely keep up!

Hailing from the nation's capital, Casey joins us as a Trip Planning Coordinator, supporting our Operations Managers to ensure every Moniker program is perfectly planned.

With a keen eye for the details, and a self-proclaimed overachieving perfectionist, we're lucky to have her on our team. Casey's got a sweet tooth and a soft spot for unique handbags, and is always on the hunt to add to her collection during her travels around the globe

Cruising into our office after almost 4 years at sea with Royal Caribbean, Ninah joins the Trip Planning team, helping put together and flawlessly execute our clients retreats and incentives.

Her background as the Entertainment Coordinator aboard cruises made for a swift transition to terra firma, where she now oversees the logistics and minutia of tasks that go into each and every one of our programs.  

In her spare time, Ninah readily admits to enjoying Hallmark Movies and teaching her dog Jameson, a shih-poo (we don't know either), how to speak her native tongue Tagalog from her time growing up in the Philippines.

Amanda joins us from Toronto after living in Whistler, BC for two years. With her extensive travel experience, she lends her talents to the Trip Planning team while also chipping in as an Account Manager with our virtual sales team when needed.

Her positive attitude, witty personality and endless creativity make her an excellent trip-planner. Not only can she solve any problem on-the-go, but she makes being onsite a wonderful experience for her team with her amazing sense of humour.

In her spare time, Amanda creates charcuterie boards that are the envy of Instagram, snowboarding the slopes of Whistler any chance she gets, and cozying up with her sweet pup Aspen and a good book.

Jessica joins the Moniker team from a previous role at BCD Travel where she was a 'maestro of manifests', helping coordinate thousands of flights for clients all over the world. Her eye for detail and knack for spreadsheets makes her an ideal fit for our Trip Planning & Operations team, helping ensure our clients programs are seamlessly run.

When she's not deftly overseeing all the minutia that go into planning the perfect trips, you can find her at her country home in Norfolk County, Ontario along with her three horses, er, Great Danes Waylon, Walter & Willy, likely refinishing old record players she found at local antique stores in her spare time. Favourite destinations involve Scottish Castles, Auctions and Estate Sales, and Dark Rooms developing photographs.

As a self-proclaimed outdoor enthusiast who is always up for an adventure, it's only fitting that Erin joins us from the Rocky Mountain town of Canmore, Alberta!

With over a decade of experience managing unforgettable travel experiences for thousands of guests with an outdoor adventure outfitter in the mountains, Erin now uses her expertise on the Trip Planning & Operations team to plan inspiring retreat experiences for all of our clients.

When she's not slacklining [?!], snowboarding, or baking fresh Aussie Meat Pies, Erin can be found exploring the peaks and valleys within her own backyard. She once summitted 4 different mountains in one day while running a total of 51km between them (we're amazed–and confused–too!).

Nicole joins Moniker after a few years on the West Coast of Canada in the non-profit sector planning epic large-scale events. She has since returned to her roots in Winnipeg, where she is now helping the Trip Planning & Operations team plan and execute our retreats no matter what the destination! 

With years of experience as an event planner, and a love for painting and drawing, Nicole adds a special creative flair to every program she touches. In her spare time, she can be found hiking, camping, volunteering or reading. We've also heard she'll probably beat you at Mario Kart, if you're up for the challenge!

A Toronto native that has recently made the cross-country move to Vancouver, Devon is a seasoned traveler. She has backpacked extensively through South-East Asia, Japan, New Zealand, and South America, blogging about her adventures throughout the journey.

Now a part of our Research & Proposal team, Devon uses her research focused travel brain to find the hidden gems for our clients. She’s always ready to take on the challenge of creating a bucket-list worthy experience, leaving no stone unturned in the pursuit of the perfect getaway.

Outside of work, you can find Devon teaching exercise classes, acting, dancing or hiking through the BC mountains. She's also known for her relentless efforts trying to convince us that ice cream is its own food group!

Hailing from Canmore, AB, Molly joins our team with a background in marketing, communications and creative writing. Her extensive travel experience, including appearing on a National Geographic kids show that took her and her brother all around the world, makes her a perfect addition to our Research and Proposals Team!

When she’s not digging through research and finding the perfect fit for our clients, she loves spending time in the great outdoors. You can find her hiking, skiing, camping, biking or just simply curling up with a good book lakeside. 

She’s a massive Leafs fan and if she could, she’d put pickles on any food. We truly love her enthusiasm and energy but maybe not her weird food obsession.

The origins of Winston’s arrival at Moniker are surrounded by intrigue and mystery. Some say he was raised in the African Savanna by a pack of well-traveled spotted hyenas, others tell tales of being rescued by Sean as a pup in the back alleys of Paris's 14th arrondissement.

Either way, Winston proudly wears the mantle of our Chief of Research, globetrotting the world and scouting out new locations and hidden gems of hotels for our clients. You can usually keep track of his whereabouts by following his adventures on our instagram page, or likely poking in to the nearest fromagerie of your local neighbourhood.
