Nau’s years of travel experience, product innovation, and operational expertise will provide a valuable addition to Holibob’s accomplished executive team.
LONDON, ENGLAND – Holibob, an innovative travel technology company solving the difficult challenge of curating, distributing, and selling tours and attractions online through its extensive network of partnerships with travel companies and experience operators, announced it has added Andreas Nau, former Managing Director, EMEA, at Expedia, to its Board of Directors. The addition comes just weeks after the company brought industry veteran Peter Payet, CEO of Desert Adventures, on to its Advisory Board.
“We’re thrilled to have Andreas joining our team, and look forward to benefitting from his expertise as we scale the innovation we deliver for travel brands and destinations,” said Craig Everett, founder and CEO of Holibob. “It’s extremely gratifying to have people like Andreas and Peter recognizing the opportunity we have at Holibob to deliver the curation and convenience that will transform the way travelers discover and book experiences.”
Nau’s appointment adds to Holibob’s accomplished team of leaders who have independently held transformational roles in growing global businesses like TripAdvisor/Viator, Booking.com,
and StubHub. He joins at a time when Holibob has seen gross booking value and conversion on its platform more than double year on year, while revenue has grown more than 5x.
“I’m excited to join a team that is capitalizing on the vast potential for digitization within the $300Bn+ experiences industry by helping travellers discover and book amazing experiences,” noted Nau, currently a Partner at Ennea capital partners – a leading Travel Industry focused M&A, investment, and advisory company. “While Holibob has already carved out a leadership position with its strong network of partners and innovative solutions, I look forward to contributing my extensive network and operational expertise in the travel industry to further Holibob’s journey and help the team successfully navigate their next stage of grow.”
