Lidy’s many years of experience in the travel industry have been a great asset to the Wimco team. She began her career in the early 1970s when she was a flight attendant in Europe. Her experience opened many doors and eventually led her into the airline marketing field. She started her own travel agency which allowed her to gain first-hand insight into the travel industry. Her career path has led her to Wimco, where she has been a vital member of the villa reservations team since 1990.
