Kristen Fernandez
Owner | Managing Partner
Kristen has always enjoyed working with clients. After graduating from Babson College with a Finance/Investments degree, Kristen spent a decade working on Wall Street. In 2009 Kristen transitioned to a more entrepreneurial career allowing her to help clients in a field in which she is naturally passionate. Fortunate to live in a charming town in Westchester County with strong community support, Kristen established Elli Travel Group in a store front location in Larchmont, New York.
​
In addition to working with her long-standing clients, Kristen manages Elli Travel with her husband Juan. Over the past decade Elli Travel has developed a dedicated team of like-minded travel advisors, who regularly receive recognition and referrals from genuinely kind and loyal clients. Kristen and Elli Travel have been featured in Conde Nast Traveler, Forbes.com, and Westchester Magazine, as well as local TV and radio spots.
​
Away from the office, Kristen is a diehard skier and snowboarder, so please use her as a resource. (Want VIP passes to ski first tracks? Just ask.) Kristen also loves to cook and has honed those skills in test kitchens from Marrakech to Sorrento and Scottsdale to Bora Bora. And as the mother of four, Kristen is well-versed on family and multi-generational travel, as well as special occasions like birthdays & anniversaries.
