"You Can Mold a Skillset But You Can’t Mold a Passion" with Melanie Meador of Redeam

Worldwide travel has come to a grinding halt during the ongoing pandemic. But the travel industry always bounces back after a setback, and it always comes back stronger than before. Helping to make that a reality is Redeam, a startup that connects travelers, operators, and re-sellers by bringing the same technology used by airlines and hotels to theme parks, attractions, and countless other tourist activities. On the newest edition of the Silicon Valley Momentum Podcast, Roland Siebelink spoke with Redeam CEO Melanie Meador. They discuss how Redeam will change the travel experience and how the company has adjusted following the pandemic: How Redeam addresses both the supply side and the demand side of the travel industry. Melanie’s unique challenges of becoming Redeam’s successor CEO in 2018. The role that emotional intelligence plays in being a CEO. The importance of CEOs remembering why they hired team members in the first place. How Redeam has put in the effort and energy to maintain company culture with everyone working remotely.
