Krista Pappas, Vice President of Business Development
Krista is a veteran travel executive with experience in the intersection of electronic publishing, distribution and technology. She is known for her ability to identify and aid the development of trends years before they become global. For example: she was the first professional analyst to cover Internet travel in 1996 at Gomez Advisors, a key player in the launch of online travel services in 1997, and a critical participant in the development of online travel sites in 2001. Prior to Farecast, Krista led M&A, sales and business as Chief Strategist and SVP for Smarter Travel. She was Head of Travel for New York Times Digital, and SVP for FareChase.com, the site that pioneered meta search. She has published many travel research reports which were sought after by many of the largest companies in travel and technology and read by most of the top analysts on Wall Street. Krista sits on many travel industry boards.
Welcome Krista!
