About Omio
Omio is pursuing a vision of delivering the world's travel inventory to enable journeys to and from anywhere.
As the largest source of travel inventory globally we work with 1000+ suppliers operating in 37 countries in Europe and North America. We are the destination of choice for 700m+ users annually across our two brands: Rome2Rio for global discovery, and Omio for ticketing and journeys. We are growing fast as we launch new geographies, new verticals and new products. We have offices in Berlin, Prague, London and Melbourne.
We are a team of more than 300 passionate employees who share the same vision: to create a single experience that helps send travellers almost anywhere in Europe, the U.S. and Canada.
We are now expanding to Latin America, a huge ground transportation market with high potential, in which our Regional VP will lead our strategy establishing local teams and accelerating growth through acquisitions.
