2023 Phocuswright Europe speaker

Roberto Da Re Founder and CEO
oberto has over 25 years of experience in the Travel Technology space. Starting his career at SABRE in Europe and in the US, Roberto was able to gain a deep insight and understanding of the global Travel Distribution market. In the late nineties he returned to Europe, where; applying and expanding on his in-depth knowledge of supply chain in the Travel Industry, founded Dolphin Dynamics. A natural technologist entrepreneur at heart, in late 2016 Roberto started taking an interest in Fintech and was immediately attracted by the innovation of Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology, paired with the changes happening in the payment industry where transformation was happening at an ever-increasing speed. The idea then came to leverage such change to revolutionise the space of settlement in the B2B Travel Industry. In late 2018, Roberto relinquished all his other operational duties at Dolphin Dynamics and went back to ‘start-up mode’ to fund Travel Ledger. Travel Ledger is now a working platform used by over 2000 travel offices in the UK and now expanding also across Europe and the rest of the world. Roberto is a regular speaker and participant in travel industry events. Outside of work, he has a young family, is a keen golfer and has a passion for Formula One.

Breakout: Travel FinTech: Have We Only Just Seen The Beginning?

For decades, the travel industry has relied upon large scale institutional clearing houses in numerous geographies to pay each other and get paid. However, as globalisation has continued at pace, coupled with the ever-accelerating rise of digitalisation, these legacy solutions of the past are no longer keeping pace with the increasingly cross border, digital and global commerce needs of the industry. Step forward FinTech to help the industry merchandise their wares, access new markets and bring buyers and suppliers closer than ever before. So, have we seen the full potential of FinTech in Travel yet or is there much, much more to come? Our panellists will share their views on the potential FinTech in travel offers and the challenges in making sure that this potential is realised rapidly, effectively and securely.
