Surge365 announces International Expansion Strategy with Hodo Global

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. - March 21, 2016 - PRLog -- Next generation travel company Surge365, based in Glen Carbon, IL made major new announcements today as the company, in conjunction with brand new international partners Hodo Global, hosted over 75 excited participants on a luxury Celebrity Cruise in the Western Caribbean.

Building on the incredible momentum and buzz around their new, patent-pending Vortex™ travel app, the two companies are poised to redefine the 8.1 trillion dollar travel market.



And leading the charge, two new appointments were made. James Tackett, currently President of Surge365, was nominated and confirmed as President of Hodo Global. The second announcement was that Chris Cokley, formerly the Executive Vice President of Sales, was named as the new President of Surge365.

"I am honored to take over as President of Hodo Global and help build the international market while creating a seamless culture between the two companies," says Tackett. "And there is not a better, more qualified candidate to take over the presidency of Surge365 than Chris Cokley."

New President of Surge365, Chris Cokley, a 30-year veteran of the Direct Sales industry and now one of only a handful of African Americans in the president's role, enthusiastically accepted the promotion. "Tackett's 30 years of marketing experience combined with his international upbringing puts him in a perfect role as president. I am honored to help take Surge365 to the next level. But make no mistake, we are a unified team and when you combine that with the new Vortex™ technology and our expansion internationally? The sky is the limit."

Cokley's recent YouTube video, "#WhoAreYouFollowing" has become an international viral hit and the talk of the industry. And although some viewers feel "called out" about these questionable leadership practices, Cokley replied, "Look, there are a lot of "bad actors" in the market. Promises have been made, and promises have been broken. This has given our industry a black eye and we intend to change that. You don't have to agree with the video, but it is factual."
