Tripbod TripAdvisor

Hayat Amin, Head of Finance & Operations. Covered on TravelMole.

Tripbod connected travellers to local experts across the UK, US and EU, built on a mine of proprietary travel data.

Hayat set up and ran the entire finance and operations function across three regions, single-handed.

Through the TripAdvisor process he ran the acquisition diligence and wrote the strategic fit narrative the acquirer bought into.

He then supported the integration into TripAdvisor after close.

The lesson

A finance function that runs without the founder is itself an asset a buyer pays for.
