He will lead the multi-functional team at Serko across design, product and technology that is working hard to bring innovative solutions to the SME business travel market with Booking.com.
Serko CEO Darrin Grafton commented, “Having Jonathan join our leadership team is a fantastic step in our journey to bring Zeno to the global SME business travel market in partnership with the Booking.com team. His experience brings a depth of knowledge and industry experience that helps us bridge the world between business travel and online retailing.”
As announced in October 2019, Booking Holdings took a cornerstone stake in Serko and signed commitments to expand its existing agreement with Serko so that Booking.com can offer and promote Zeno to its business traveler customers. Jonathan’s appointment is a key milestone in Serko’s plans to scale the organization to maximize the opportunity this initiative presents, with the first Booking.com for Business customers expected to be live on the platform in the next few months.
