It's the process of creation that I enjoy most. As far back as I can remember I've always had a passion for brainstorming, analyzing, working through finding solutions to complex problems. I guess you can say that I'm one who is always in search of a good challenge.

My first exposure to the tech world was back in 2003. I didn't realize it back then, but it was about to change everything for myself and the world in which we live. There I was, 18 years old, literally witnessing evolution of "the internet of things" before my eyes. I watched it transform the way people connect, the way we do business, and most importantly how it changed societies perspective on what really matters. It was everything, and understanding it became my mission.

Thirteen years later, I was designing business development models, creating strategies, system design, restructuring operations, building internal and external teams for one of the best telecom companies in the industry while raising two children, running my own startup company, and starting a master program (did I mention I like challenges?).

It was a business trip to Paris, a lay off, a shift in the economy, and a relentless search for meaning and purpose that lead to the creation of WiGo Trips™ (a story to be shared another time). Now my mission is to create solutions that help people achieve their potential while living fuller, deeper, and more meaningful lives while they travel.

We are now a team of 12 and looking to bring in the right talent to help us grow.
