Meet The Team

Claudia Anton

CEO

I’ve always had a passion for travel, exploring new countries and cultures from a young age. After studying Tourism Management in Germany, I first visited Ireland in 2003 and instantly fell in love. My career took me to Melbourne, but Ireland called me back, where I spent almost 17 years with a leading DMC. After years of experience, Lars and I founded 360 Travel Design to create bespoke Irish adventures.

Lars Hendrich

Director of Operations

I’m a passionate travel professional with extensive experience in the tourism industry. Originally from Germany, my studies and four years working on a cruise ship fueled my love for exploring new cultures. In 2016, I found my true calling in Ireland’s enchanting landscapes. After years with a leading DMC, I co-founded 360 Travel Design to craft unforgettable Irish adventures, ensuring every journey exceeds your expectations.  

Brian Mc Colgan

Chairman

My long career in tourism has been incredibly rewarding. I began with the Ryan Tourist Group, spending 9 years in Dublin and New York, before co-founding a new venture in 1978. That business went on to become one of Ireland’s leading DMCs where I served as Joint Managing Director and Chair for over 35 years. I also had the opportunity of participating in a number of industry groups, including Bord Fáilte, Dublin Tourism, and the Incoming Tour Operators Association. Tourism is an exciting business and I’m grateful to have worked with so many talented and dedicated industry colleagues.

Marina Finn

Director

I joined the tourism industry in 1989.  At that time Irish Tourism was growing rapidly, I loved the business so much that I spent the next 30 years with the same company. I’ve experienced all aspects of the DMC sector, including sales, marketing, business development and operations, before becoming Joint Managing Director and later CEO. Leading a team of dedicated professionals and working closely with industry partners has proved to be a very enriching experience.
