About

At Booking.com, we’ve made it our mission to empower people to experience the world. So we’re going beyond being the best place to book any kind of accommodation to become the ultimate travel platform. And the place to book it all – from room nights and day tours to airport transfers and in-stay services. Helping us do this is a diverse community of over 17,000 employees across 200+ global offices, all connected by a love of travel and a passion for innovation. I am passionate about going above and beyond expectations settling only for excellent results and the best possible outcome that can be achieved in a given time frame. I am a very patient person, ready to improve, to learn, to develop. Believing that we can achieve more together than by ourselves. I love the dynamic of working in a team, engaged in achieving the same goal, improving together through communication and circular feedback. I truly believe that the best leaders also follow, I’ve been on both sides and it gave me the necessary strength, understanding and insight fit for either roles. I want to develop by doing everything necessary to not only know, but to truly understand everything that I should know so that when I move forward I know how to take the best and most informed decisions, to know what to offer and what to expect from others.
