FORA is a business in a box that solves Travel advisors main bottleneck: Back office work.

I'm on the advisor enablement team that is in charge of the main portal that advisors use to interface with their clients. The tools we provide are: an itinerary builder, Terms and Conditions builder, intake form for new clients, learnings for new advisors, and many more.

The best part of working at FORA is being so close to the end user: the advisor, the short development cycles, and how cohesive the PM, frontender, backender and designer unit is.

Traveled to 11 countries and met amazing people, made cross cultural connections. Made it back to New York. Investing time into personal pursuits like writing blogs, understanding new technologies, reading books, freelance.
