34. Bobby Healy of CarTrawler

Published: July 21, 2020, 9 a.m.

Free-spirited and never afraid to speak his mind, Bobby Healy is a well-known figure in the travel and transportation sectors.

The former-gaming coder spent a few years at SITA and Amadeus before, eager to get out from under the confines of the corporate machine, he joined in 2005 the fledgling Irish car rental startup, CarTrawler.

His story is one of making the right decisions at the right time, a fair dose of luck and a lot more.

Later years have seen Healy become a thorn in the side of the likes of Google (his views on the search giant are about as vocal from an industry exec as you can get on the record) and now he's moved into the business of drone-based deliveries.

Healy is the latest guest on How I Got Here.

HIGH is a weekly show produced by PhocusWire and Mozio, aimed at getting the inside stories behind startups and innovation in travel and transportation.

It's hosted by PhocusWire's editor in chief, Kevin May, and Mozio co-founder and CEO David Litwak.
