Joe brings an adventurous spirit and a global business perspective to his role as Business and Operations Manager at GreatLakesCruises.com. Originally from Boston, his background spans economics studies in Pamplona, graduate business work in Madrid, hands-on operations in New York City, and strategic consulting for private equity firms. Now back in Boston, Joe is drawn to the Great Lakes for the same reason he’s always loved great cities on the water — places where industry, history, and exploration meet. Joe’s favorite Great Lakes destination is Chicago, Illinois .
