π Transforming Travel Through AI | CEO & Co-Founder of Joaia π
Iβm passionate about revolutionizing how people explore the world. As the CEO and Co-Founder of Joaia, I lead the creation of the first AI-driven marketplace for travel guides, blending cutting-edge technology with the timeless art of storytelling. Born from an idea I envisioned, Joaiaβs mission is simple yet ambitious: to make every journey as personal, immersive, and unforgettable as it should be.
π― What We Do at Joaia:
We empower travelers with AI Travel Guides that adapt to their preferences, delivering real-time, localized insights through unique personasβwhether itβs historical figures, local experts, or creative characters. Joaia bridges the gap between guided tours and independent exploration, offering the flexibility of modern travel with the depth of expert storytelling.
π‘ My Journey:
I began my career at Doit and Garden in Migros, working my way up to become Head of CRM and Sales Management at APG|SGA, a leading public company in the Swiss advertising industry. Inspired to create something entirely new, I stepped out of my comfort zone to found Joaia, combining my passion for innovation and travel. My Executive MBA in Customer Experience Management fuels my vision to craft innovative, user-centric solutions that resonate with modern travelers.
