In my twenties, I worked for an e-commerce company before creating my own company that coordinated marketing and events for some of the most important people in the world. I am fortunate enough to have counted heads of state and royalty as my customer base.

Meet the CEO
At the heart of any great company is its CEO and leader. As you can imagine, writing a section about oneself is not the easiest thing to do. I grew up around success, my father was a leading software developer’ in the early 2000s. My house resembled the set of Dragon’s Den. It was a house where I was always encouraged to express my ideas, learn and grow. It was also an environment where I was taught that work, specifically hard work, was the foundation of a successful business.
By my seventeenth birthday, I had decided to learn more about the tech industry. This led me to Kyiv, Ukraine, where I started working as a marketing manager for a leading App development company that partnered with Facebook to build games for them. Following this, I was recruited to work for a leading gaming company and was made the youngest manager in the company’s history. During this time, I oversaw software development; it was here that I fell in love with being an entrepreneur.
I wanted to build my own projects, and more importantly, I wanted to be an innovator. Innovation is the much-overlooked sibling of entrepreneurship. Innovation is the process of bringing about new ideas, methods, products, services, or solutions that have a significant positive impact and value to their sector. At the heart of innovation is the ability to turn creative concepts into tangible outcomes that improve efficiency or address an unmet need in the marketplace.
This is exactly what TravelTech is: an innovator in its field. By nineteen years old, I had created my own nightlife App. This hard work allowed me to travel and see the world; I can say that it was during this time that I knew I would build something in the travel and technology sector because these are my favourite things, and work should be something you love.
