Happy Independence Day, India! 🎉 Wishing all of our colleagues and customers across India a joyous and meaningful celebration.

We're building the future of travel with smarter tools and stronger teams. Priceline's CTO, Sejal Amin, recently sat down with Forbes and the Metis Strategy Technovation Podcast to share how we're using AI and our product operating model to create better travel experiences for our customers. 📖 Read the full interview: https://lnkd.in/dQKT9Jih 🎤 Watch or listen to the podcast: https://lnkd.in/gt8sKsnt

Priceline Big Deal Bucks have always been a cherished employee perk, helping create unforgettable travel memories. This spring, Dhara V. explored Vienna & Salzburg, turning a milestone birthday into one of the year's most memorable experiences. From stunning architecture to incredible desserts, the trip was a perfect reminder to slow down, be present, and savor life's special moments.

Our CTO Sejal Amin, and Senior Director, Engineering Lead Pedro Gutierrez, recently joined DX's Engineering Enablement podcast to share the story of Priceline's journey from a project-based team to a product operating model. In the episode, they discuss how qualitative signals reveal hidden bottlenecks that metrics miss, why our engineering managers now own developer experience goals, and how we keep track of shifting bottlenecks as AI accelerates our code output. 🎤 Listen to the full conversation here: https://lnkd.in/gPzGxEym

Congratulations to our incredible Priceliners celebrating their work anniversaries! We're grateful for the dedication, passion, and talent you bring to our team every day. Here's to many more years! 🎉

Our own Pratyush Kochar, Group Product Manager at Priceline, joined a standout panel titled "Preparing for Agentic Commerce: When AI Starts Transacting" at the Payments Leaders' Summit in Nashville to dig into what happens when AI stops assisting and starts buying. The conversation brought together leaders across the payments and fintech space to explore what agentic commerce means across the journey, from discovery to payment, along with the trust, compliance, and operational questions that come with it. The takeaways: AI is reshaping payments and creating new expectations for how consumers and businesses transact, trust and clear liability frameworks matter more than ever, and the merchants who modernize early will be the ones ready to keep up. We're lucky to have people like Pratyush joining this important conversation and thinking about what's ahead. 🚀 #PaymentsLeadersSummit

Our newest Priceliners have landed. ✈️ Welcome to the team. We're so glad you've joined us!

Travel doesn't stop, and neither does our team. We've been at industry events across the globe this year, and spring alone included some highlights like: the Best Western Hotels & Resorts Regional Conferences (West, Central, and East), Caribbean Marketplace in Antigua, and the Choice Hotels International 70th Annual Convention in Las Vegas. There's no substitute for being in the room. These events give us the chance to sit down with hotel partners face-to-face, hear what's actually happening in their markets, and figure out how we can help move the needle for our businesses. Hundreds of partners. Dozens of real conversations. One consistent theme: the relationship still matters. Big thank you to our incredible team members who represented Priceline Agoda so well: Marco Caputi, Carolina Guarin, Joey Bain, Kristin (Fasano) Cheek, Landry Major, MBA, Adrian Lopez, Arend de Beer, Benjamin Mussler, Heather Carr, Kathryn Perkins and John Sung. 🙌 And we’re not slowing down! Please reach out and catch us on the road this summer; we’d love to connect with you!

Happy Independence Day! From long weekends to longer road trips, we're celebrating the freedom to explore and the people who make every journey worth taking. Wishing all our U.S. teammates, customers, and partners a safe and joyful 4th of July on this 250th birthday of the nation!
