Sanjay Soni

Technology Partner

Bringing together technology to build community centric platforms

Meet my colleague and tribe member, Sanjay. He is an experienced and skilled technologist with 18 years of experience in building mobile applications and games. He has played different roles in his career, starting as an extra programmer and working his way up to team captain. As a computer engineer by profession, he has a deep understanding of coding and technology. Sanjay's expertise lies in helping techies to shorten their journey of becoming pro developers by equipping them with the right tools and training them to prepare for different challenges in a developer's life. He understands that the service industry is driven by the needs of startup founders who may not understand market needs from day 1, and as a result, products may change over time and sometimes lose their purpose. To combat this, he created TALKING PIXELS, a company focused on connecting with customers and founders every day to continuously refine problem statements and test rapid prototypes, eventually building useful products. As a leader, Sanjay fosters a culture of putting customers first in every process of the business at TALKING PIXELS. His contributions will be valuable in bringing together technology to build community-centric platforms, and in our mission to make travel a force for good.

Jen’s education is based in leadership, outdoor education and through life experiences. All three make up much of the way she lives, interacts and works. What makes her smile? Getting to know people on their journeys, being able to assist in travel and hospitality dreams and make new and lasting connections. What is even better? When she can discover unique boutique hotels, taste new foods, discover hidden treasures, have amazing adventures, understand different cultures and try to ensure that travel benefits the local communities and the environment. Much of Jen’s story includes her passion for the idea that in today’s world it is so very important to see and feel what others around the world believe, how they live, the environmental impacts happening around them and to connect to native, local traditions and stories.
