Tom Griffin is the President of iVeew, leading the Mobile Enterprise Application Platform for the travel and hospitality industry using iVeew iBeacon technology .
His Internet application development career began in 1996 by creating a web application promoting condos and single-family homes available for rent. He also developed an online
platform for property managers to manage their inventory.
This technology was advanced for its time, allowing content to be syndicated to various online sites and then in 1999/2000 integrating content with Sabre Global Distribution System. This was a pivotal time when green screen technology was being migrated over to personal computers.
In 1998, Tom launched ActivRez, the first web based Central Reservations System for destination marketing organizations, tour operators and CVBs. ActivRez incorporated air, lodging and activities into Passenger Name Record (PNR) with over 20,000 properties loaded. Tom sold ActivRez to an investor group in May 2001.
In 2005, Tom started Travelscream, a white-label geo-located ad network for travel partners. His target clients were OTAs, Marriott, IHG, Wyndham, Starwood and Hilton and had over 60 websites white labeled with travel content.
Travelscream was a global company with offices in the US as well as Beijing. Being global allowed Travelscream to take advantage of the major travel ad opportunities in the Oceana region as well as the balance of the world, with content syndication partners based in Europe and elsewhere. Tom stepped down from his position with Travelscream in March 2010 to begin working on Mobile Marketing and Engagement applications.
What started as mobile based contextually animated games for businesses soon morphed into iVeew.
Tom officially began development of iVeew in January 2011 with the rollout of an Enterprise platform for the travel and hospitality industry incorporating geo-fencing mobile applications and late last year after the announcement by Apple of iBeacons technology will occur July, 2014.
Tom’s expertise in the online travel and hospitality industry often allows him to speak at major travel events and participate in panel discussions focusing on travel solutions at technology conferences around the world. He has sat on a number travel related advisory boards.
