Journera is a technology company developing the first software platform for travel-related companies to create more seamless travel journeys.
Travel today can be a frustrating experience. We founded Journera with the belief that this experience can be improved if the companies involved in the travel journey can properly connect and use their data to make a more seamless experience.
Through our secure GXR (Global Experience Record), which creates a unified view of the traveler’s journey in real-time, and our unique publish-subscribe and data permissions architecture, the Journera platform is enabling travel-related companies and application developers to create new travel experiences, more quickly implement and improve partnerships, and better govern their data.
We are a team of experienced travel industry executives, engineers, product specialists and businesspeople who are out to improve the world's travel experiences.
Our CEO, Jeff Katz, was the Founding CEO of Orbitz Worldwide, CEO of Swissair and an executive at both SABRE and American Airlines, and our team includes seasoned professionals and experts from across the travel and technology industries. Based in Chicago, we are an ambitious team that is driven by tackling big challenges, working with cutting-edge technologies, and making meaningful changes for travelers.
