I'm a writer at heart, and a passionate marketer and strategist in reality.

My intellectual loves include digital media, marketing, social media and emerging technologies. I'm observant enough to admire great design, but smart enough to do it from afar.

I spend my days doing what I love at the world's largest GDS in the travel industry... in English, that means we ensure butts are in airplane seats & guests are occupying hotel beds all over the globe.

So basically, the next time you travel... you're welcome. ;)

Global Distribution Systems in the travel industry are no joke when it comes to revenue.

If the transaction value enabled by the GDS industry at $268 billion each year went to a single company, it would rank fifth on the Global Fortune 500 list, behind only Shell, Wal-Mart, Exxon Mobil and British Petroleum.
