A Philosophy That Trumps All w. Orestes Fintiklis

Founder of Ithaca Capital and Vice-Chairman and Chief Corporate Strategy and Business Development Officer of Mondee Holdings, Orestes Fintiklis joins us on the show.

Mondee is a one-of-a-kind company in travel tech. The company is filling the gaps caused by inconsistencies in the industry.

The travel industry has been on a never-ending rollercoaster since the COVID-19 outbreak. Did the pandemic bring about better opportunities in travel and hospitality?

During this episode, Orestes explains what Mondee does, how he ended up there, and what his role is.

As technology improves, innovations in travel tech are causing a ripple of opportunities! Entrepreneurs and influencers are taking full advantage of this.

We learn about Mondee’s approach to acquisitions and how they ensure seamless integrations. He also chats about how COVID-19 affected global travel, and the ins and outs of Ithaca Capital.

Orestes owns a luxury hotel in Panama City that was once owned by a sitting president. He shared the incredible story of how that sitting president sued him for $200 million!

Inspiration is the key to success which ties into his ‘be positive’ philosophy. You won't want to miss out on this episode!
