Who is Damon Tassone?

Whether sailing the high seas or keeping tabs on Travelocity's

fast-growing presence in Europe, Damon Tassone is always on the go as

deputy CEO of the combined lastminute.com and Travelocity Europe

operations.

Before moving to London in January, 2004 to

run Travelocity's European businesses, Tassone was Travelocity.com's

senior vice president of distribution. As such, he managed

Travelocity's Site59.com and World Choice Travel subsidiaries, as well

as the company's distribution partnerships with America Online, Yahoo!

and leading travel suppliers such as Southwest Airlines, helping those

companies sell Travelocity's products on their own sites.

Prior

to that role, Tassone acted as general manager of Site59 where he

brought years of travel experience with him. As an advisor to consumer

products and retail companies at Boston Consulting Group he was rarely

seen in his home office in Boston and, while working for Guinness, he

seemed to spend more time at its brewery and offices in Kingston,

Jamaica than anywhere else.

Damon was especially

thoughtful about making his leap in to joining the travel industry: he

completed two years of "market research" as a member of a five-person

team that spent two years sailing around the world conducting

environmental education programs, at the end of which he knew that

travel was not just for leisure.

Tassone graduated magna cum laude from Dartmouth College with a degree in English. He lives with his wife in London.
