TourRadar was founded in 2010 by Travis Pittman and Shawn Pittman. It is the world’s leading Adventure Booking Platform with 2,500+ connecting travellers and travel agents. To date, TourRadar has raised circa $67 million from world-class VC firms Cherry Ventures, Hoxton Ventures and SpeedInvest, with growth-equity firm TCV (Airbnb, Expedia, Spotify, Netflix) leading its Series C.
Embarking on a newly evolved global platform strategy, TourRadar sought to acquire a new Chief Financial Officer that aligned with their next stage of international growth. Our partnership with TourRadar focussed on accessing and attracting market-leading talent from around the globe to make the move to Vienna. The new expertise will enable global market expansion, significant raising of capital and successful positioning at the centre of their ecosystem.
