Today would have been my 7-year anniversary in Travelport…
I say “would have” because I left in December.

That’s my big news!
My plan now is independent consulting / advising on travel technology, airline passenger systems (PSS, OMS, NDC, OOSD, OOSSD, …), product strategy, and positioning, with a focus (hopefully) on companies that want to disrupt and innovate in that space.
I also hope this will give me some time for important (but unpaid) side projects like Travel Massive, events, teaching, writing – on LinkedIn, and some other things I’ll tell you about later.
With regard to the past seven years – I loved it – I learned so much from being part of a major distributor going through a pandemic, a rebrand, a platform launch, all as part of the best B2B marketing team in travel tech. Special thanks to Kyle Moore, Jennifer Handal Catto, David MacHale, Louise Stevens, JP Ephithite, Paula Milton, Anne Kerr, Phil Donathy, and Fergal Kelly – and dozens of others I worked with over the last seven years. I learned a lot from you all!
