    Terry Jones biography

    Keynote speaker Terry Jones’ popularity is mainly due to him being the founder of Travelocity.com and the Chairman of Kayak.com. After several speaking engagements and publishing his books Disruption OFF and ON Innovation, Terry has established himself as a significant voice in the world of entrepreneurship. The direction of his professional life has placed him as a thought leader in the field of innovation in our growing digital environment.

He culminated his career as Chief Information Officer of the company’s SABRE division. During his days at SABRE, he oversaw a team of six people working on what would eventually become Travelocity.com. Jones was the CEO of Travelocity for seven years. During that time, the company generated three billion dollars in travel sales.

    Following the privatization of Travelocity, speaker Terry Jones joined Kayak.com, a company that transformed the way people book their trips. Jones was Kayak.com’s chairman from its inception until its 2013 sale to Priceline for $1.8 billion.
