20 years at Expedia Group. It’s hard to believe and I’m incredibly grateful. I remember vividly my first day, which was the same day EXPE went public. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the most talented, passionate people in the industry. I’ve built lifelong friendships, tackled big challenges, and made more amazing memories than I can count. These 20 years have been incredible for me and, more importantly, for my family. Thank you Expedia! 💙 The past two weeks in New York reminded me just how special this company is – from sharing goals and getting honest feedback with our exec team, to a successful partner conference, and seeing my name on a Broadway marquee (thank you The Walt Disney Company!). I also had the honor of being interviewed by WiT (Web in Travel) who are also celebrating their 20th anniversary. I had a great conversation with Siew Hoon Yeoh reflecting on the early days, scaling across Asia, and looking to where the next 20 years might take us. Watch it here: https://lnkd.in/e_JGpAU2 As the industry continues to evolve, I’m more excited than ever about what we can achieve together. At every level, travel is a force for good!
