Our People

Douglas O'Neill

CEO

“I’ve been running Inntel for over 21 years now, although my family has owned the business from the beginning. Today I lead a brilliant team of industry experts.

My legal background is a big influence on my management style; I question every decision I make to assess its impact. I believe you can never stop learning. That’s why I’m a member of several industry and non-industry associations. 

Anna Snoep

Director of Operations & ESG

“I have been in the hospitality industry for over 25 years and joined Inntel in 2015. My role is to ensure that our Customer Service teams continue to deliver their award-winning service and exceed our clients’ expectations on every interaction.

In addition to this, I am Inntel’s ESG lead, looking after our operational sustainability as well as ensuring that we deliver innovative solutions to our clients to support them with reducing their environmental impact as a result of business travel.

Outside of work, you’ll find me spending time with my daughter, in the gym, in the garden or in a lovely restaurant enjoying a meal out!”

Mark Wheeler

Director of Finance, Company Secretary

“I’ve been with Inntel for 15 years, although I’ve been an accountant my whole career. My role covers every aspect of finance, including our Billback service.

With Billback, it’s my job to give you total control of your hotel costs by making sure you avoid unnecessary charges and keep processing costs low. Off duty, I spend my time with my family – apart from when I’m watching West Ham.”

Sian Sayward MCIPS

Director of People, Partnerships and Strategic Projects

“I’ve worked in the hospitality and travel industry for over 30 years. In my current role, I am responsible for the People, Talent and Compliance Team, Commercial Partnerships and Strategic Projects. I’m a creative thinker dedicated not only to achieving commercial success for Inntel but also to the growth of the Business Travel, Meetings, and Events industries. I help to promote this growth through my joint role as Past Chair and Governance Director for the industry trade association – beam. I also sit on many action groups, steering groups and committees within our industry. I’m passionate about driving best practices forward and will always question the status quo or challenge the norm.

As a parent of a child with complex additional needs, I’m passionate about increasing understanding and acceptance of disabilities and promoting diversity. I volunteer within the Education and Welfare Rights sector, advocating for others who need legal advice and support.

Outside of work, my two teenage sons keep me very busy! In any rare moments of downtime, you will find me chilling out, reading a good book with Meatloaf’s greatest hits on in the background. ”

Alex Webber

Director of I.T.

“I’ve been with Inntel since 1999 and look after our technology. It’s essential I know our systems inside-out so I can identify and implement improvements, especially to functionality and efficiency. I’m particularly proud of our online reservations system which manages all your bookings.

Like many of my colleagues, I enjoy the outdoors, walking and gardening are high on my list. ”

“I have been in the travel industry in a sales capacity since 2009 and joined Inntel in 2017. My role is to build relationships with potential customers and really understand their requirements in order to build a travel programme that is fit for purpose, meets the requirements of their business, streamlines process and provides savings.

In my spare time I enjoy travelling and visiting places I haven’t been to before and walking with my favourite fur ball Charlie.”

David Luney

I lead our Client Relationship team and inspire them to develop and build long-lasting partnerships with our clients. I see our Client Relationship Managers as an extension of our client’s business, and we understand what they need from us to surpass their expectations.

My 12 and 13-year-olds keep me busy outside of work, which is maybe why I enjoy the occasional glass of wine – either that or supporting Spurs!”

Laura Rogers

Head of Business Travel

“I have worked in the travel industry for 23 years and joined Inntel in June 2023. My role is to ensure our clients receive an unrivalled service from our teams, focused on turnaround times and delivering that “personal touch”.

“For the past 25 years I have worked in project management in a number of industries, mainly involving IT systems.  I am confident that my experiences of managing change will assist the Billback team to become super-efficient allowing more focus on our clients.

Outside of work I spend the majority of my time coaching youth football and watching any football available either on TV or at Ipswich Town FC.  I enjoy the gym, road biking and have love hate relationship with running.  I have two teenage sons who take up any other spare time I have, but I wouldn’t change it for the world”
