A Unique Perspective on Travel, Business & AI.

I’ve spent my career in travel — on land and at sea — and I’ve seen firsthand what creates extraordinary guest experiences and what gets in the way. I’ve worked aboard cruise ships for 8 years, traveled to more than 76 countries, and spent 15 years in the cruise and travel industry on land in sales, operations and leadership roles.

I’ve had the privilege of working with industry leaders including Avoya, Arrivia, and American Express Travel, where I gained deep experience in travel sales, service, marketing and operational strategy. I also spent 10 years owning and operating my own business, which gave me a deep understanding of what it takes to build, grow and lead a successful company.

Today, I’m a tech founder, building AI applications specifically for the travel industry. I founded Veliara Intelligence to help luxury travel operators bring together guest experiences, operational feedback and customer intelligence — and turn it into real business growth.
