Solutionz appoints former EY partner, Bob Reiner, to its Sounding Board for the TripProximity venture
TAMPA, FL May 24, 2019 — Solutionz Innovations, a Tampa-based travel tech firm today announced the third member of its Sounding Board for TripProximity. The Sounding Board is a unique, virtual extension of its Board of Directors, designed to accelerate the success of funders and founders by helping them reduce risk and make informed decisions.
Reiner was previously an executive at Rubbermaid and a partner at EY, one of the “big four” global accounting firms. He also spent over a decade with KPMG.
He was chosen for the Sounding Board role from a pool of more than 225 highly qualified candidates.
“The addition of Bob is important for a number of reasons, mostly notably his depth of experience in CRM, which is a core focus for the Company, as well as acquisitions, finance, accounting and risk management,” said Chicke Fitzgerald, CEO and founder of Solutionz.
Solutionz’ patent pending flagship product, TripProximity™ adds trip planning to the systems and sites that people use every day, reducing the cost to acquire high intent travelers. Fitzgerald added, “We give enterprise platforms and publishers new ways to monetize their existing account base and to enrich the value of their tools and content to their customers, the end travelers.”
Perry Yeatman, Executive Director of the Sounding Board added, “We’ve pulled together a world-class team, comprising expertise in all of the key areas where start-ups need advice – from finance to HR, marketing to M&A. By design, when curating the membership of this team, we were looking for a range of skills, experiences and perspectives. Bob’s financial acumen combined with his experience as a business counselor make him a great addition to the team. His experience and relationships in the CRM arena are a bonus, since we provide enterprise level, integrated trip planning for CRM users.”
