Prior to joining Travelaer, Kumar served as the Strategy and Innovation Director at Voyages-sncf.com Technologies, and Arslaner served as the Vice President of Global Sales at Switchfly.

They both have the talent and the experience to help us not only fulfill our promises to Customers, but also help Travelaer to continue in presenting the travel industry with unique and effective digital solutions."

In his role as CTO with Travelaer, Kumar will leverage his experience to bring structure, processes, and state of the art technology to the company's products.

His experience with Voyages-sncf.com will also play a big role in terms of managing Travelaer's explosive growth. His strengths also include an ability to quickly scale teams using his extensive network of developers and tech experts.

"I love the combination of technology, innovation and travel and that cross-section is where Travelaer offers huge value," said Kumar. "Travelaer has a great team and a solid foundation. I'm thrilled to join as the company grows and help bring its product line to the next level"

Arslaner brings to Travelaer a 20-year track record of launching and rapidly scaling venture-backed technology start-ups, including similar positions at Switchfly, Unisfair, Jamcracker, Kana and Broadbase. With Travelaer, Arslaner is tasked with overseeing the company's global commercial strategy, driving business growth and increasing market share. 

"Brent is adept at creating strategic plans with a hands-on execution approach," said Slone. "He is the perfect fit for Travelaer right now as we continue to experience rapid growth and yet need someone like him to take this growth to the next level, where we start increasing market share."
