Exciting News Alert! 🚀 🚀 I’m thrilled to share that I was recently interviewed by Jerome Knyszewski for Valiant CEO Magazine, a prominent national business publication based in Dallas, Texas. 🎉 In this interview, I had the opportunity to reflect on the journey of building GetMoreBooking.com — from the initial spark of an idea on a sunny terrace in #SantoDomingo to becoming a unique service provider for #LuxuryProperties listing on Booking.com. How do I maintain my personal resilience during tough times? In two words: #discipline and #adaptability. Discipline, the daily routine, the desire to improve every day, is the main ingredient for building a strong mindset that’s resilient to stress. And then there’s adaptability, a lesson taught to me by my grandmother Maria, a tough Sicilian woman. She would always say: “Calati juncu, ca passa la china”, which roughly translates to “Bend down bulrush, that passes the flood.” There are moments when you simply need to stand still, to better understand how to move. This might seem counterintuitive in a hyper-fast and hyper-connected world like the one we live in, but I believe it’s a secret to be carefully guarded (even though now that I’ve shared it with the readers of Valiant CEO, it’s not a secret anymore…) 🌍💼 Curious about how we’ve tackled challenges, built resilience, and turned setbacks into opportunities? Check out the full interview here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eUB--9Ar 🌟 A huge thanks to Jerome and the ValiantCEO team for this amazing feature. 🙏 Have you ever had a moment that made you pivot your business strategy? I’d love to hear your stories! #Leadership #Resilience #Entrepreneurship #BusinessGrowth #GetMoreBooking #ValiantCEO

Congratulations to the Tollman family and all the employees of The Travel Corporation on this significant transition as Apollo Global Management, Inc. acquires TTC. This marks a new chapter in TTC's remarkable 100+ year history, and I'm excited to see the new opportunities that lie ahead for all involved. It's been a while since I read Stanley Tollman's "Recollections of a Lucky Man," but I'll be picking it up again to reflect on this momentous change. Large family-run travel businesses like TTC have always fascinated me, and working with them at Kaptio has deepened my appreciation for their legacy and impact. My initial thoughts and possible implications are: 1. Consolidation Trend: This move is part of a broader trend where industries, from tech to food to pharma, are dominated by a few major players. The travel industry, which has already seen significant consolidation with TTC itself being a key consolidator, is now advancing further along this path. Scott Galloway and Ed Elson speaks about this almost every week on their Markets Podcast, and it's interesting to see such a prolific player like Apollo get involved in our industry. 2. Positive Long-Term Impact: In the mid-to-long term, asset managers like Apollo often restructure and break up large assets. This can increase competition by allowing smaller, specialized entities to emerge, fostering innovation through fresh perspectives and new investments, and ultimately benefiting consumers with better choices and improved customer services through digitalization. 3. Future Prospects: How will this reshape the travel industry's landscape? Will Apollo’s involvement spur new strategic directions for TTC’s brands? Will this lead to enhanced consumer experiences and new travel innovations? How will this acquisition influence other players in the travel sector? Will they sell off brands and go lean-and-mean, aiming for an IPO? Or could we see strategic partnerships and further acquisitions to strengthen their market position? Congratulations again to everyone at TTC on this milestone. The future looks bright, and I'm eager to see the positive changes and innovations that will unfold in the multi-day industry. #travel #consolidation #innovation #Apollo #TTC #futureoftravel

Last night, I had the pleasure of attending the Leadership and Tourism in the Hunter Region event, and I walked away with some incredible insights about the growth and future of our beautiful region. Hearing from Peter Cock, CEO of Newcastle Airport, and Stephen Hunt, Managing Director of Hunt Hospitality, was eye-opening. Their leadership in expanding the region’s infrastructure and enhancing the visitor experience is truly setting the stage for tourism growth in the Hunter. Peter’s work on developing a new terminal at Newcastle Airport is such a game changer—it’s amazing to see how strategic investments in infrastructure can open up domestic and international tourism, creating new opportunities for local businesses. Stephen’s passion for community engagement and sustainable business growth also stood out, showcasing how hospitality and tourism can work hand-in-hand to boost the local economy while preserving what makes the Hunter so special. For me, this event was a great reminder that leadership and innovation go beyond just one industry—the same principles that apply to growing tourism can be used to fuel financial growth in businesses. Whether it’s making the right strategic investments, or building sustainable operations, strong leadership is key to unlocking growth and long-term success. 💼 If you're a business owner looking to align your financial strategy with your growth goals, let’s connect. The Hunter region is thriving, and I’m here to help you take advantage of these exciting opportunities! #HunterTourism #LeadershipAndGrowth #CFOAdvice #BusinessGrowth #HunterRegion #Innovation #NewcastleAirport #SustainableBusiness
