Check PPT Of Darren Huston on Future of Travel

Darren Huston says that ten years from now, no paper work will be involved in the travel. “You’ll have no passport, no credit cards, no confirmation,” predicts the Amsterdam-based Canadian.

"You just have to have your phone in your pocket, and if you lose it, everything will be in the cloud." Unless someone invites teleportation, however, we'll still have to fly – something Darren Huston doesn't really do.


But for now, this is the only way he can access all the local experiences he craves. "I like the odd taste and taste. I've eaten ants in Nairobi, frogs in Vietnam and a lot of weird things in China - I really enjoy it during travel. "

Darren Huston Canada, UWC Adriatic 1983 - 85

When Darren Huston was talking about his life and career, he was shocked by the fact that his audience consisted of many young travelers from around the world and that all UWC alumni also travel - in fact, UWCers As they do so very widely!

Alumni are not just the “primary outcome" of UWC. They are also a source of sometimes unexpected ways to support fundraising for scholarships. During that visit Darren Huston gave a memorable lecture to the College students and came up with an idea for a Bookingdotcom.So – Darren Huston thought – how about creating a way for the Alumni to give to the College simply by using Booking.com?

The grant is open-ended and variable and depends on our alumni booking, making students and staff members through bookingdotcom: the higher the booking, the higher the grant!When the grant amount reaches the value of the scholarship, it is allocated to a student as a Bookingdotcom scholarship.

So, when using the services provided by Booking.com, whether for holidays or work-related travel, please remember to use this link and why not ask friends and relatives to use it too? No additional costs are involved and you will be contributing to supporting future generations of young “travellers of the mind”!

Darren Huston Path to Priceline Group

Darren Huston grew up in Canada, where he spoke English at home. He learned French and Italian when he was a teenager, and after college he worked in the Canadian government, where his boss was from Quebec and would only talk to him in French.

After graduating from Harvard Business School, he joined McKinsey & Company. As a consultant, Darren Huston finds out that he aspires to lead a company and he prefers B2C businesses more than B2B businesses. He understands how consumers interact with brands, and Darren like being able to use the products himself.

When Darren Huston was working for McKinsey in Seattle, he saw Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz giving a speech. Huston found him and his company very compelling. At the time, a lot of McKinsey people were leaving to join dot-coms; He joined a coffee company instead. People thought Darren was crazy.

He spent five years at Starbucks working on new ventures and branded products. He led the acquisition of Tazo Tea, helped launch Starbucks concerts, arranged for Wi-Fi to be installed in all of the stores, and created a Starbucks card payment platform.

Through the Wi-Fi project, Darren Huston got to know Steve Ballmer and his colleagues at Microsoft. They recruited Darren, and he was serving in a variety of roles, eventually becoming CEO of Microsoft Japan.

Microsoft is where Darren Huston learned to run a scaled operation. He lived in Tokyo for three years. Some of his direct reports spoke a little English, but they preferred to speak Japanese, so Darren had a translator for a long time. Two levels below Darren, no one spoke English very much. This was his first experience with language barriers as a management challenge.
