Leadership Spotlight: Janelle Ruhumuliza
Officer of Development, San Diego

Lilacs & Chai is a boutique travel company based in San Diego. As an affiliate of Embark Beyond, a Virtuoso agency that specializes in luxury travel experiences. Janelle grew up on Lilac Lane in a small-town in Southwestern Michigan and now resides in San Diego, California. A former hotelier with a passion for luxury travel and for helping her clients achieve their travel dreams. She enjoys getting to know each of her clients’ individual travel styles and prides herself in being their “personal shopper” of all things luxury travel. Her father from Rwanda and mother of Swedish descent has given Janelle a global perspective from an early age. She spent a year in Argentina during college and speaks Spanish. A warm cup of dirty chai tea latte with almond milk gives her so much joy and of course the smell of lilacs in springtime. Scouting out luxury destinations and experiences for her clients is a labor of love. Creating a travel company is her dream come true.
