Alf Castellano, former Travelocity V.P., joins TripSay
We’re excited to welcome a new member to our board! Alfonso Castellano joins TripSay at a perfect time, a few months after our public launch. He brings a wealth of experience and insight in building successful online travel businesses and compelling features for both our users and partners. Alf is one of the pre-eminent authorities in the online travel industry and we are very happy to have him on board.
Alf has over 25 years experience in travel industry, including nine years at LastMinute.com where he was Managing Director of Southern Europe, head of Latin American expansion and Global Hotel contracting and procurement. Following Travelocity’s billion-dollar acquisition of LastMinute.com, Alf was appointed Travelocity’s Senior Vice President of consumer business in Europe. This year he will be launching two travel technology and innovation related companies.
We also look forward to have Alf’s travel tips on various types of outdoor sports, not least on his special interest, sailing. It’s always great to have new Tripsayers sharing their insider travel tips and see which places they recommend. Alf has been a TripSay user before joining the board. He says: “TripSay.com is ideally positioned to capitalize on this next wave in the online travel industry where members use the power of social networking and knowledge sharing to maximize their travel experiences.”
