The people and passion for making business travel better that brought SalesTrip to life.
People don’t want suppliers and systems to disrupt, they want them to help. So while our solution is ground-breaking, we avoid calling it disruptive. To us, making an impact means putting customers first, investing in an inclusive company culture and delivering a highly differentiated and incredibly useful product.
SalesTrip was born from this principle of helpfulness – helping frustrated travel managers who in turn were trying to help equally frustrated travellers. We have a lot of first-hand experience of outdated business travel and expense systems. Our founders knew there was a better way and they set out to find it.
Diversity in tech isn’t about hiring people of different colours, races, religions, or genders. It’s about creating a workplace that celebrates and benefits from a diverse set of knowledge, skills, and life experiences. In a global, connected, digital world, business leaders and travellers have wide-ranging and challenging expectations of the technology that supports them.
Our team reflects the global mindset and diversity we champion. It’s what helps us develop the simplest solutions to the most complex business travel and expense challenges. But despite our differences, there are several things we share. Our common goals make us an observant, curious and well-balanced team with the desire and the power to make business travel better for all our users. And we’ve all personally dealt with spending significant time away on business. This only increases our empathy and enthusiasm for simplifying business travel.
SalesTrip’s leaders have an unrivalled pedigree of success and innovation in the business travel and SaaS worlds. That proven experience fuels our ambition to simplify corporate travel and expenses for businesses and employees alike.
The team has over 60 years’ experience in the business travel industry, working with customers and partners globally to bring travel programmes to life for SMBs, mid-market organisations and some of the world’s biggest enterprises. We also benefit from the skills of some of the smartest Salesforce technologists in the sector.
