Vindow appoints new COO

Thursday, February 3, 2022

Vindow – the cloud-based travel technology platform that brings buyers and sellers of contracted accommodations together to create value – is pleased to announce the appointment of Zalman Makher as Chief Operating Officer (COO).

Zalman comes to Vindow with extensive experience in both travel technology and corporate finance. As COO at Vindow, Zalman will be working closely with Founder, Ken Shanley, to execute the company’s overall strategic vision, as well as to facilitate short- and long-term priorities. Zalman will be responsible for overseeing all of the day-to-day operations for the company, including Project Management and Development, Sales and Marketing, Operations and Customer Service. Additionally, Zalman will be working with the Head Finance to manage the P&L, including budgeting and forecasting.

“I am excited to join Vindow because I am passionate about the travel tech industry and I believe the RFP space is starved for innovative software that delivers real-world solutions,” said Zalman. “Vindow is perfectly positioned to capture market share with our unique and agile platform that create an open and transparent marketplace for buyers and sellers of contracted accommodations to conduct business efficiently. Our flexible and intuitive user interface lets buyers quickly and easily source hotel rooms for any type of contracted business, of any complexity – like short- and long-term stays, crew housing, relocations, and meetings & events. For hotels and hotel management companies, Vindow allows them to centrally manage their entire portfolio’s RFP workflow. This is a huge differentiator for us and we’re excited to continue our expansion into new markets over the coming months.”

“Zalman and I have worked together previously, and I have been constantly impressed by his drive, work ethic and organizational skills,” said Ken Shanley. “When we began recruiting for this role, Zalman was the first person to come to mind. I know he will be instrumental in accomplishing our exciting and ambitious corporate goals over the coming months and years. We are very happy to welcome Zalman to the Vindow family.”

Prior to his role at Vindow, Zalman was the Senior Vice President of Business Management & Operations at Hotel Connections and worked in various leadership roles at J.P. Morgan. Zalman graduated from Baruch College with a Bachelors’ degree in Finance.
