Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales, dedicated account management, self-serve online booking tools, and toll-free reservation centers, supported by content marketing, social media, and thought-leadership in business travel publications.

The company is led by Chairman Monica Teplis (founder) and CEO Gary Teplis, with a long-tenured operating team including SVP Operations Linda Alexander (since 1996), CIO/CTO Ted Petty (formerly Walt Disney Parks & Resorts and AAA Travel), VP Finance Ashley Owens, and VP Business Development Joe Curtis (formerly BCD Travel and Acendas Travel).
