We’re excited to welcome Jeff Kim, CEO of Yanolja Cloud and Chief Strategy Officer of Yanolja Group, to the FutureTravel Summit on October 30.
Since joining Yanolja in 2015, Jeff has played a central role in its transformation into a global travel tech company – one that’s quietly redefining how infrastructure in hospitality, leisure, and mobility is built and scaled. Yanolja connects with more than 1.33 million hotels and travel enterprises across 206 countries worldwide, and partners with over 21,000 travel sales channels, including booking platforms and travel agencies as well as tour operators and bedbanks.
Jeff’s background at McKinsey, Google, and 3M gave him the strategic edge to navigate rapid growth, complex acquisitions, and product expansion across regions. But what makes his leadership stand out is the long-term vision: instead of chasing visibility, Yanolja has focused on building tools that work behind the scenes—moving the industry forward by upgrading its foundations.
Earlier this year, Jeff also shared his perspective in a guest post on FutureTravel, reflecting on 20 years of Yanolja and what the next phase of travel tech could look like. You can read it here.
At the FutureTravel Summit, he’ll join us on stage to talk about that future: what it means to lead through deep tech shifts, how to scale in a fragmented global market, and where he sees the next wave of innovation emerging. Join us in Barcelona on October 30 to hear it live!
