Jeffrey Glueck

Chief Marketing Officer

Travelocity

Jeff Glueck oversees marketing activities for Travelocity, including advertising, merchandising, customer experience, design, personalization, CRM, search engine marketing and editorial content, business development, and community sites including IgoUgo.com. Since assuming the role in January 2004, Jeff has helped Travelocity launch a new site design and interface, a new logo, the wildly popular Roaming Gnome Advertising campaign, the Travelocity Guarantee and Customer Bill of Rights, as well as a new tagline: “You’ll never roam alone.”

Previously, Jeff led the product team that built Travelocity’s dynamic packaging platform, which has helped more than one million travelers build their complete trip, while saving time and money by booking flight, hotel, car and activities together. Prior to Travelocity, he helped found and launch Site59, where he served as chief strategic officer and VP Business and Product Development. Site59 became the leader in the US “last minute deals” arena and won numerous honors for innovation. In March 2002, Site 59 was acquired by Travelocity. Earlier in his career, Jeff served as advisor to the Ministers of trade and travel of Peru, Venezuela and Bolivia as well as a White House Fellow in Washington D.C. working on international trade and economic development financing for Asia and the Middle East.

Under Glueck’s direction, Travelocity has been recognized for its business rejuvenation, including “Turnaround Company of the Year” from the American Business Awards, and a Gold Effie from the American Marketing Association for best retail advertising campaign in the USA.

Glueck, named to Advertising Age’s 2007 “40 under 40,” holds degrees from Harvard University and Oxford University, where he was honored as a Marshall Scholar.
