WORK HISTORY
CEO Pass Consulting Corp & Head of Business Unit Travel & Logistics Pass Consulting Group @PASS Consulting Group
Munich, DE
Based primarily in Miami, but with frequent trips to my team at our headquarters in Germany, I\'m overall responsible worldwide for the PASS Business Unit Travel. With our multi-GDS tool XX/1, we offer access to travel content and inventory from various sources through a single Point of Sales (PoS). The PoS can be an Agent Desktop, a (Corporate-) Online Booking Engine, or an XML API. Our tool offers easy access to all major global distribution systems (GDS), central reservation systems (CRS), hotel property management solutions (PMS), car rental providers, rail providers as well as Low Cost Carriers (LCC). Our XML is self-explaining, straight-forward, robust and complete. That is why it was chosen by IATA to become a world standard as resolution 787 NDC. Our PASS Travel solutions support all business travelers step-by-step in the shopping, booking, changing- and expensing process before, during and after a trip. The modular system structure has a solid foundation dating back to the year enriched by a state-of-the art travel framework and rules engine to create any kind of individual Online Booking Engine tailored to the specific individual requirements of multinational companies.
