Mr. Michael W. McCormick is an accomplished senior executive
who has successfully launched, funded, bought, sold, and led
companies in the travel, search and media space. During the
past two years, Mike funded and launched a successful advisory
business which inspired him to form Hudson Crossing.
In Mike’s most recent corporate role, he served as
Executive Vice President of Cendant’s Hospitality &
Leisure Group, where as business unit leader, he was responsible
for the strategic direction and execution of the global hospitality
business for Cendant Travel Distribution Services (TDS), now
operating under the name of Travelport and recently acquired
by The Blackstone Group. With brands that included Orbitz,
Cheaptickets and Galileo, Mike was instrumental in designing
and implementing strategies which resulted in the development
of an industry-leading merchant hotel database of over 30,000
hotels and top line revenues that grew to $3 billion. In addition,
Mike was President of multiple brands including Lodging.com,
THOR and TRUST International as part of an innovative “end-to-end”
hospitality strategy. As part of that strategy, Mike initiated
and led Cendant’s acquisition of TRUST International,
which has now become the global leading reservation service
for luxury hotel brands.
Prior to his tenure at Cendant, Mike was the Chief Operating
Officer of PhoCusWright, the premier online travel industry
research and advisory firm where he led the effort to increase
overall company sales by 85% as well as exceeding all performance
targets for client retention. Prior to this role, Mike was
President of Biztravel.com, whose investors included Comcast
and Hummer Winblad, and led a successful effort to sell the
assets of Biztravel.com to Rosenbluth International, one of
the world’s largest travel agencies at the time. Rosenbluth
was also Mike’s first employer where he was responsible
for building a global Supplier Relations organization and
establishing a global alliance of agencies. Rosenbluth was
subsequently acquired by American Express.
Mike holds a Bachelors of Administration in Finance from
University of Notre Dame.
