Entrepreneurial travel operator who builds people-first tour and ski businesses.
What I'm looking for
I am an entrepreneur and travel operator who builds people-first tour and ski businesses that scale and run independently. I founded and grew a ski school and a tour agency in Georgia, creating reliable, well-rated services and strong international teams.
I developed, priced, marketed and sold unique tour and ski products while negotiating partnerships with top local service providers. I recruited, trained and led multicultural teams—at one point managing 21 employees and 25 instructors—while maintaining strong customer satisfaction and year-over-year profitability.
My work emphasizes practical problem solving in complex international logistics, cross-cultural communication, and administrative navigation in foreign environments. I also write narrative travel pieces and document travel logistics for blogs and guides.
I am motivated to join a mission-driven organization where I can apply my operational, leadership and growth experience to build exceptional travel or hospitality products and teams.
