Background

About Daniel Holl

Business Development professional and travel industry enthusiast with 17+ years of experience building and leading highly productive B2B sales & account management teams~ I’ve spent 13 years of my career with trivago, a global online travel marketplace, publicly traded on the NASDAQ. I joined trivago as a small start up and have relentlessly grown their B2B hotel sales & account management department into the successful organisational business unit it is today. In 2022, I embarked on a new journey as the CEO of triggle, a pioneering software solution dedicated to bridging the gap between Hotels and providers in the realm of tours, activities, and transfers. In this role, my focus is to steer the team towards dynamic growth and to redefine how direct transactions can help growing ancillary services for Hotels. In 2024, I rejoined trivago as an Advisor, where I am guiding their strategic investment in the AI-driven travel tech platform, Holisto. I also joined Holisto's advisory board to support their growth and innovation in the travel tech space. The three pillars of my success can be summarised as: 1. Establishing and developing long lasting, commercially productive accounts with the world’s largest travel and hospitality companies. Defining, setting and achieving goals by bringing partner potential onto our internal roadmaps to be a world class advertising platform. Building the best teams to support these strategic goals and objectives. I have developed teams capable of tackling the challenges of empowering the digital performance marketeers who advertise in marketplaces. My teams are effective, because they possess deep skill sets in technical integration, analytics, negotiation, and customer care. My personal strengths lie in Strategic Partner Management and setting up high-performing teams to sustain and increase revenue streams and partner satisfaction. My capabilities span from establishing the operational team rhythm, building team capabilities, defining strategic priorities, establishing and delivering relevant KPIs, to the development of a strategic playbook for partnerships, its implementation and evolution.
