Before sites like travelocity.com or kayak.com existed, she was creating and implementing effective campaigns for multi-channel distribution of services (i.e. putting those of us who wanted to buy a flight together with the airline companies). \u00a0She leveraged her experience in corporate to launch her very successful consulting company\u00a0<em>Solutionz<\/em>. \u00a0Her clients have included big names like AAA, American Express and LasVegas.com. Her most recent venture is a branch of her consulting company, focused on launching travel technology solutions. \u00a0Whew! Sounds like a lot?
