My business network calls me the "Super-Connector." I am a lifetime travel tech entrepreneur with 2 exits in the travel industry — an OTA and a boutique lodge. I co-founded Travel Startups Incubator, one of the first travel technology incubators, investing in 20+ travel startups.

Today, I focus on M&A deal making, travel CEO coaching, and offer a video on-demand 4-week travel acceleration program to help travel CEOs and founders build sellable travel companies. I am an active writer on LinkedIn about entrepreneurship, ownership, travel startup life and travel M&A — writing to inspire the next generation of travel tech entrepreneurs.

I execute M&A deals by leveraging a global network of 1,000+ buyers of travel companies, 375+ investors, and 7,000+ travel executives built over a lifetime in the travel industry. I've personally met almost every buyer and investor in my network.

I engage directly with companies through TravelStartups.co LLC — my M&A and executive coaching firm.
