Zohar will bring his experience of scaling online marketing strategies, data-driven decision making, and leadership into his new position, helping to continue driving TravelPerk’s hyper-growth journey. His priorities will include strengthening the marketing function; reaching new markets, industries and customers and building on TravelPerk’s position as a leader in the business travel management space.

I’m looking forward to bringing my experience to TravelPerk, and helping to accelerate our growth and our brand.”
Avi Meir, CEO and co-founder of TravelPerk, said:
“I am very excited to have Tal joining the leadership team as our Chief Marketing Officer. Tal brings impressive experience in building and leading the global marketing and data analytics teams of a successful hyper-growth company.
This hire, along with the Albatross acquisition, shows our resilience and our determination to lead the business travel market, with the right Product-Market fit.
