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.
