Cheryl Rosner
Cheryl was in the hotel business from a very young age with roles in revenue management,operations and sales and marketing. Cheryl worked on the Priceline beta with Kimpton Group in 1998 which inspired her to join the founders of Hotels.com when it was primarily a call center business and helped grow them into a billion-dollar company. She ran Hotels.com when it was acquired by IAC Travel and merged with Hotwire and Expedia.com.
Cheryl joined the Expedia leadership team when the company was spun out under the Expedia Brand to run Expedia Corporate Travel which she took to profitability within the first three months. From there, she joined a secondary ticketing company called TicketsNow with their Series A as CEO. They focused on dynamic pricing and created a liquid marketplace which was a fantastic preview of what they’re building now at Stayful. They eventually sold TicketsNow for $265M.
