Dorian Harris
Founder of Skoosh
Known as one of the most disruptive influences in the travel game, Dorian learned the hotel industry from the ground up. He started as a customer service agent in 1992, soon moving up to a contract negotiator and then business development manager, before launching his own business, Skoosh, in 2001. Dorian built the software enabling Skoosh to compete head-to-head with the largest agents in the travel industry. When his competitors tried to oust Skoosh, Dorian led a legal challenge which has shaped not only the hotel industry but competition law around the world. Dorian is currently working on a commercial challenge to the travel industry, building Where’s Good?, a portal which will change the way people search for and book travel, for good.
