We're thrilled to announce that we've recently brought in two industry veterans to lead product and tech development at ToursByLocals. Today, meet Lee Huberman, our new VP of Product!
Lee brings more than 15 years of Product leadership to ToursByLocals, with the majority of that time focused on driving customer experience and conversion in global marketplaces. Lee’s high-energy style and commitment to building collaborative teams have resulted in a number of highly successful initiatives during his tenures with eBay, Gap, and most recently, with Vrbo/Expedia Group. Lee has also worked at several tech startups where he had the opportunity to be engaged in all aspects of product development, from research, design, and prototyping to sales, customer service, and search marketing.
Before joining ToursByLocals, Lee spent over seven years at Expedia Group, first leading Vrbo's Traveler Checkout team, where he was responsible for driving vacation rental bookings and insurance sales, then leading the Shopping and Stay Experience teams. Lee was also responsible for developing a large, cross-functional program that was able to resolve some of the most complex and long-standing challenges on both sides of the marketplace.
When he’s not focused on delivering enhancements for travellers and guides at ToursByLocals, Lee, a former competitive tennis player, likes to travel as much as possible and spend time with his wife and daughter at home in Seattle. His favourite travel destinations to return to over and over are Paris and Wailea on the island of Maui.
