NEW YORK, 2015-11-9 — /Travel PR News/ — TravelClick announces the completion of its 2015 expansion and upgrade to its Senior Leadership team. The Company appointed Barrett Boston in Q1 to the position of President, Americas, Scott Falconer in Q4 as Executive Vice President / General Manager, Media Solutions and Rebecca Bursky in Q2 as Senior Vice President of Human Resources.
Since the acquisition of TravelClick by Thoma Bravo in mid-2014, the Company has invested heavily into the business to accelerate its growth opportunities. A critical part of those investments is in the Senior Leadership team, which helps to ensure the success of these initiatives on a global scale. These hires complement the additions to the Senior Leadership team in 2014 of David Obstler as Chief Financial Officer and Andrea Newborn as General Counsel.
“TravelClick continues to expand our data, technology, media and demand services to support hoteliers around the globe. We are investing in experienced, proven leaders to continue our track record of innovation,” said Larry Kutscher, CEO of TravelClick. “Barrett, Scott and Rebecca bring tremendous expertise at leading global data and technology companies. They will add a high caliber of talent and depth to our current leadership team.”

Prior to TravelClick, he worked at IBM for 12 years where he led software sales for a number of business units. In his most recent role at IBM, he was Vice President, Big Data and Analytics, serving as the global general manager for this strategic growth unit and leading sales worldwide. Prior to IBM, Mr. Boston held positions at Storage Networks and Stonington Partners.
Mr. Falconer brings over 30 years of extensive operating experience in leading recurring revenue businesses, as well as significant experience in media and communications, to his role as Executive Vice President / General Manager, Media Solutions.

Prior to Visible World, Mr. Falconer held roles at Nutrisystem, AOL, NTL (since renamed Virgin Media), Air Touch Communications, Booz Allen Hamilton and Goldman Sachs.
Ms. Bursky brings 18 years of experience to her role as Senior Vice President of Human Resources.
