"Developing and nurturing these relationships with travel vendors, suppliers, and peers in the industry is a key mandate of my role," Lee stressed. "It's also my job to develop travel policies that are both cost effective and support corporate business objectives, while also ensuring safety, security, and comfort to our travelers.

"In 2007, when I took on the role of Corporate Travel Manger, TransCanada had 2,500 employees and the program was pretty straightforward," Lee noted. "We are now 6,000 strong and our travel program has grown exponentially with the company."
