Time was of the essence when Expedia turned to Maxsam Partners for temporary technology leadership. Expedia’s VP of Engineering for Hotels.com was desperately needed for another assignment. But he couldn’t leave his position unless someone qualified could step in and take over leadership of the group until a new VP was hired. We were able to bring in a veteran VP of Engineering right away.
Expedia needed the VP of Engineering to reduce technical complexity and increase development efficiency at Hotels.com. He integrated new development practices, reengineered core technical operations, reorganized to make the group more efficient, and improved the ingestion and prioritization of features. Based on his success, Expedia hired him into their own executive team, and increased his areas of responsibility.
Maxsam Partners executives have the required experience to be able to walk into a situation without previous history or visibility, pick up where the previous executive left off, find key areas of success and failure in the organization, and bring positive results.
