Ross Veitch co-founded the travel metasearch site in 2005 with Craig Hewett to give Southeast Asia its first real-time, bookable tool. At Yahoo!, he recognized the desire for travelers to research their flight and accommodation options independently and from live inventory. Veitch joined Southeast Asia operations and kick-started various initiatives, including successful search, media, commerce, communications, mobile, and community platforms.
Veitch’s passion for travel and technology were combined as he became Chief Product Officer of Wego and assembled one of the strongest web development teams in APAC today. Consecutively today, Wego is used by millions of people every month, which is why the team works tirelessly to make their end users’ experience of planning their trips as seamless as possible. The ingrained idea of the human need to travel – “why we go?” – is one that the company has woven into the name of its organization — Wego.
