I’m the Founder and CEO of Wowzitude, a five-year-old, award-winning TravelTech platform transforming how people connect with the world through live, interactive guided tours. With a global network of 150+ expert local guides across 200+ cities, Wowzitude has hosted over 500 livestream tours, engaging 12,000–15,000 participants per program from libraries, museums, alumni associations, and community organizations.

A 35-year travel industry veteran, I’ve led growth and innovation at American Express Travel, Liberty Travel, and CIE International Tours, and co-founded several travel and technology startups. My passion lies in applying technology with heart — blending AI, storytelling, and cultural connection to strengthen the human side of travel.

At Wowzitude, we integrate 20+ AI-powered tools driving everything from livestream production and trip curation to marketing, analytics, and personalization — proving how human creativity and AI can work together to deliver extraordinary experiences. I frequently speak on AI, digital engagement, and the future of travel, inspiring advisors, tourism execs, travel sellers and entrepreneurs to harness innovation as a force for connection and growth.
