“We compete by being smart…scrappy…and resilient,” says Whimstay CEO David Weiss in a recent interview with Website Planet. Weiss expounds on this statement by saying, “Building a travel marketplace is not for the faint of heart. Several things have contributed to our success to date and likely will for the foreseeable future. We must hire the best people functionally and who share common values. We must also focus and be able to take a punch figuratively and battle on. And we must be different and be better. A little luck comes in handy as well!”
In the article, David goes on to explain the origin story of Whimstay. He shares the vision the company was founded on and the focus during the first few years of working to carve out space as a new vertical in online travel. He then shares about the work he has done to grow his team and its ability to carry Whimstay’s vision since his appointment to CEO.
David also shares about Whimstay’s evolving value proposition, how the company’s value proposition differs from other major sites, and how he will lead Whimstay into its next phase of development.
