Founder Bios and Photos
Gregg Brockway
president
As an online travel industry veteran, former co-founder of discount online travel company Hotwire and former president of Expedia's luxury travel company Classic Vacations, Inc., Gregg knows the ins and outs of booking and planning travel online. When he realized the rapidly growing number of online travel options and sites was beginning to conspire against his own attempts to easily plan trips, he knew that non-online-travel-experts must be having a heck of a time keeping it all straight. Thus the idea for TripIt took shape.
Prior to his work in the online travel industry, Gregg was a director at the private equity firm Hellman & Friedman and worked in the merchant banking group at Morgan Stanley & Company. Gregg received his MBA from Harvard Business School and has been a featured speaker at numerous industry conferences, including TravelCom, Internet World, eTravel, EyeForTravel and others on the topics of travel, e-commerce and revenue management.
Scott Hintz
vice president, product
TripIt co-founder Scott brings years of travel, product, strategy and technology experience to the TripIt team. At TripIt, Scott is tasked with the challenge of making TripIt.com so easy to use that it encourages travelers to gleefully plan and fulfill the most event-packed trips of their lives.
Prior to TripIt, Scott was senior vice president, Product for Hotwire and led the Product Management, Business Development and Travel Relationships teams. Prior to Hotwire, Scott spent five years as a strategy consultant for Accenture advising clients such as Chrysler, Canon USA, United Airlines, Hewlett-Packard, and Visa USA on corporate strategy, process design, and business planning. Scott received a B.S. from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business.
Andy Denmark
vice president, engineering
At TripIt, Andy's job is to keep the site running as smoothly as a perfect vacation. A dedicated do-it-yourself (DIY) travel planner, Andy packs his vacations full of sightseeing, eating and just hanging out: "For me, traveling is all about doing it like the locals and getting a flavor of what daily life is like in a given place."
Andy came to TripIt with more than 13 years of software development and operations experience. Prior to joining TripIt, Andy was director of Suites Engineering at Opsware, Inc. (formerly Loudcloud) and was responsible for the engineering strategy for product suite integration. Before Opsware, Andy was chief technology officer for the real estate portal CityRealty.com and founder and chief engineer for the Internet consulting firm Mediabridge Infosystems. Andy has a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and an M.S. in Computer Science from Columbia University.
