Open Travel Alliance recherche un DG

Vous êtes nombreux à lire mes billets et être des experts du tourisme et du voyage. Nous connaissons mal en Europe les standards d’Open Travel Alliance qui sont à mon avis le moteur d’une mise en oeuvre des packages dynamiques. Une candidature européenne permettrait aux acteurs du tourisme de notre continent de mieux connaitre ce qu’il est possible de faire avec cette approche.

Alors n’hésitez pas à postuler ! 🙂

The OpenTravel Alliance, the travel industry’s leading standards body, is searching for an individual to lead the organization to replace its longtime CEO, Valyn Perini, who is leaving the organization as of January 31.

« I have very much enjoyed my years at OpenTravel, have worked with really wonderful people and considerably expanded my knowledge of the industry, » said Valyn. « I’m looking forward to whatever’s next, but my current goal is to ensure a successful transition for OpenTravel so it can continue to do the good work it has become known for. »

« Valyn was hired in 2005 as OpenTravel’s first full-time staff executive because we needed someone who had distribution experience, and who had a respected industry presence, » said Gianni Cataldo, chair of OpenTravel’s board of directors and VP of Americas for Datalex. « Valyn modernized the organization, managed us through the downturn of 2008-2009 and has been instrumental in launching our next-generation model-based schema initiative. We know she’ll be successful in whatever she decides to do next. »

The OpenTravel board of directors is looking for someone with travel industry experience to continue the work done by Valyn, OpenTravel’s staff and board of directors. The ideal candidate will be someone…

• With extensive travel industry experience
• Who embraces change
• Who wants to make a difference in the travel industry
• Who can work with all industry segments to improve the distribution of travel information and inventory
• Who can lead staff and membership by gaining consensus and solving problems
• Who can talk to CEOs, CIOs, analysts and architects alike to further the goals of the organization
• Who can run the business every day
• Who is based in the US
