Co-founder Bahir Browsh has worked broadly across the travel industry during his 35 year career. He began in the reservations department of a major airline while earning his degree in electrical engineering from Temple University, and progressed through a series of managerial and entrepreneurial positions. At TWA, his responsibilities through the years included directing its tour operations (Getaway Vacations), the operational side of the frequent flier program, its call centers, Customer Service and Consumer Affairs, and even the airline's lost and found operations at all airports. He was part of the executive staff that planned and launched The Travel Channel. He later guided the leveraged buyout of a travel company that combined Internet channels with a traditional "brick and mortar" retail travel agency. More recently, Mr. Browsh has served as a very senior consultant to travel industry companies.
