Once in a while, a leader comes along who is brilliant, creative and compassionate.
Larry Pimentel is such a person.
He has been a driving force in luxury travel for more than three decades, building four successful cruise brands and creating marketing programs that have become industry standards. An educator and mentor at heart, he is the go-to guy when a travel company wants to appeal to affluent travelers. This is why Pimentel is being recognized as the recipient of The Points Guy’s Lifetime Achievement Award, part of Cruise Week at the 2020 TPG Awards.
