Tripadvisor CEO and leadership

I co-founded Tripadvisor in 2000 with the mission to help travelers around the world plan and book the perfect trip. Since then, Tripadvisor has grown into the largest travel site in the world. Tripadvisor Inc. now includes 24 other travel media brands that operate in 48 markets worldwide. Prior to co-founding Tripadvisor, I was president of CDS, Inc., an independent software vendor, and prior to that, was co-founder and vice president of engineering of CenterLine Software. I love tech and hold several software patents. Over the years I’ve also been honored to win a number of awards for entrepreneurship and leadership in the travel industry including being inducted into the 2015 British Travel & Hospitality Hall of Fame, receiving the 2015 Pioneer Award by the International Society of Hospitality Consultants and the 2005 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. I sit on the board of directors at Glassdoor (www.glassdoor.com); CarGurus (www.cargurus.com); and the Neuroendocrine Tumor Research Foundation (www.netrf.org). I’m also a fan of my brother-in-law's robot sculptures at Lipson Robotics (www.lipsonrobotics.com).
