Manage episode 285875434 series 2535902
Atle Skalleberg's career so far has been a combination of being in the right place at the right time, smart decisions and perseverance.
After arriving in the U.S. from Norway, he eventually took a job at StudentUniverse, prepared to do anything in order to learn the basics of business and, just as importantly, secure a visa.
Within a few years, he was running the company - an online travel agency for youth and student travel - and setting it on a period of growth, an acquisition and its eventual sale to Flight Centre Group.
He is a strong believer in mentoring, being honest about what's possible and taking your time when it comes to finding the right partner (and acquirer).
He joins us at 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.
