“When we created the CoreX business unit earlier this year, we were searching for a leader to be the guardian of the traveler’s journey across all our offerings – accommodations, air, restaurants and experiences.  After a thorough search, we are confident that Lindsay is the right executive with the experience and know-how to enhance the TripAdvisor brand as we evolve to become a more social and personalized offering for our community,” added Kaufer.
