Travelier Group names Kineret Khamchi as VP of Data

She's ex-BlaBlaCar and Wix

Israeli-headquartered travel technology provider, Travelier, has appointed Kinneret Khamchi as its new VP of Data. 

The group, which encompasses seven travel-tech companies across the world, has brought on Khamchi to look after its data operations.

With the firm operating platforms for booking intercity transportation services via buses, trains, and ferries in 124 countries, this move is necessary. Travelier collaborates with more than 19,000 transportation providers globally.

Previously a data manager and analyst, she has served as head of data engingeering and business intelligence of BlaBlaCar for the past five and a half years.

She was instrumental in establishing and leading the company’s data processing unit, which now employs approximately 30 analysts. 

Prior to this, she held roles as director of BI and analytics at WalkMe, business analyst at Wix, and project manager at Ness Technologies. 

Omer Chehmer, co-founder and COO of Travelier, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Kinneret to Travelier. 

"Her rich experience in data and analytics, particularly in the travel-tech space, will help us leverage our vast data volumes using advanced AI tools."

He added: "This will enable us to provide greater value to our partners and customers worldwide.”
