About

I have been working in the travel industry for more than 10 years, and I am passionate about creating innovative solutions that enhance the customer experience and drive revenue growth. As the co-founder and CEO of OnArrival, I am leading a team of talented professionals who are building the AWS for travel, a B2B platform that enables customers and suppliers to have a direct relationship and manage a single distribution stack for the next decade of growth. OnArrival's mission is to decentralize the revenue pool that is concentrated among a few top players globally by empowering anyone to sell travel at the same level. We help large and small consumer brands, especially those for whom travel can be an adjacent vertical, to launch an OTA-like experience in less than 30 days. We leverage our expertise in analytics, data analysis, market research, and domain expertise in travel ancillaries, travel distribution, and travel technology to deliver a scalable, secure, and seamless solution that meets the needs and expectations of both customers and suppliers.
