Chad Wise

Founder at Hostwise

Speaker

Our founder, Chad, started his career in the travel industry, selling student travel “Spring Break” experiences. Working in exotic locales, the focus was making sure his student travelers had an amazing experience, from the moment they landed to the day they left. He also realized that every traveler was unique - from the quiet, reserved groups to the fraternity party animals, he learned what it took to keep guests happy.

After leaving the travel industry, he joined the management consulting grind, spending on average 200 nights a year on the road in cities across the country, if not the world, flying ~120k miles a year for 12 years straight! Here he learned what works and what doesn’t from a traveler’s perspective, and what a traveler needs. He’s also traveled to over 50 countries and 45 states!
