About me

I'm VP Travel, Mastercard. In my role I'm responsible for developing and launching differentiating solutions for partners in the B2B travel vertical. These solutions range from digitalized payments and providing efficiencies for travel agencies and travel suppliers, new technologies for better interfaces and leveraging big data for insights on the travel ecosystem.
Prior to joining Mastercard, I spent almost 14 years in the travel industry holding positions at leading travel brands such as lastminute.com, Global Hotel Alliance and AMResorts. These previous positions spanned across sales, marketing, distribution, and loyalty all with one key factor – building successful partnerships.
