Claudette Gouws

Claudette Gouws brings over 20 years of experience spanning the travel, cruise, and recruitment industries to her role as Operations Executive at Ambitions Travel Recruitment. She provides the operational backbone that keeps Ambitions Travel Recruitment processes running with precision, from candidate data management and interview coordination to job advertisement production and process improvement across the team.

Her career has covered a broad range of operational and client-facing roles, including accounts and operations at Pentravel, sales and management with Starboard Cruise Services, and operations support within international travel recruitment at Progressive Travel Recruitment.

That range gives her an instinctive understanding of how leisure travel businesses operate, and what colleagues, clients, and candidates need at every stage of the recruitment process.

Claudette is organised, thorough, and quietly effective. Her contribution to Ambitions Travel Recruitment is felt most in the consistency and reliability of the candidate and client experience, the kind of detail-driven support that allows the recruitment team to focus on what they do best.

Outside of work, Claudette is a proud dog mum to Betty the Boston Terrier and devoted to her teenage son. When she is not working, you will find her beside a sports field or spending time with family and friends.
