ABOUT SCOTT GRODY:

Scott Grody is the Vice President and COO of Fugazy International Travel/American Express. In 2006, Grody’s negotiations lead to Fugazy becoming part of the impressive American Express Network, bringing the clout of the world’s largest travel company, with its 2200 offices in 140 countries, to the clients of the Boca Raton-based firm.  According to Grody, this relationship with American Express has broadened the menu of services offered to Fugazy’s customers, who were already accustomed to exceptional personalized attention.

A world traveler and an expert resource on all aspects of the industry, Grody was virtually born into the business. His family owned a small operation in New York called Reliable Travel Bureau. Here, Grody learned his excellent customer service skills and honed his entrepreneurial spirit. After college, he ventured into his own business, Imperial World Wide Tours, which he later merged with Vacation Ventures/Carefree Travel. When his father became ill, Grody took the reigns at Reliable and built the single branch location into a multi-branch regional operation with heavy emphasis on Luxury Leisure and Group Travel. Looking to expand the company even further, he raised funds though an IPO, focused on Corporate Travel Management, and through a state-of-the-art sales effort grew the company over the next decade into a $100 million dollar business with 47 office locations throughout the United States.

After selling Reliable Travel, Grody ran several other successful enterprises, but his love of travel propelled him back to the industry, where he accepted his current position at Fugazy International. At the highly respected agency, Grody has focused the firm on four key areas luxury independent travel, group travel, cruises and corporate travel management and incentives.  But whatever your travel desires, Fugazy offers first hand knowledge of almost every destination in the world, assuring you the trip of your dreams.

American Express is the Worlds largest Travel Company with 2200 offices in 140 Countries and Gross Annual Billings of $26 Billion Dollars.

Grody stated that this type of buying power and travel clout translates to unsurpassed client values.

Scott Grody resides in South Florida with his fiancé Cyndi. He has 2 children and 2 grandchildren.

He has traveled the world during the last 40 years and his favorite vacations are to the French and Italian Rivieras, Private Yacht Holidays and Cruises.
