Barrie Seidenberg joined Viator Inc. in 2005, bringing a decade of executive leadership and marketing expertise in the online travel industry. When she joined, Barrie believed that the destination activities space was the last real 'green field' in online travel and saw great promise in the efforts Viator had undertaken to fill this underserved niche. Having spent a significant amount of time herself piecing together friends' recommendations, guidebook suggestions and magazine articles to find the most unique and best-quality things to do in the many places she visited, Barrie knew there was an opportunity to corral all of this "inside information" into a single trusted online resource travelers could rely on. Explicitly focused on destination activities and building relationships with local tour operators worldwide, Viator is now the leading online resource for insider access to everything from traditional sightseeing to once-in-a-lifetime destination experiences. Under Barrie's leadership, Viator has demonstrated impressive growth, fueled by the success of the company's flagship brand, Viator.com.

Before joining Viator, Barrie was chief marketing officer at Preview Travel, one of the early leaders in online travel. As a member of the executive team, Barrie was instrumental in that company's successful IPO in 1997, and its subsequent acquisition by Travelocity in 2000. Barrie held previous senior-level positions with Atinera, Williams-Sonoma and American Express. Barrie is a graduate of Yale University and the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

An avid traveler, Barrie is always in the process of planning her next trip. Her holidays have often included her family's passion for sailing and the water: the British Virgin Islands, the coast of Turkey, Alaska's Inland Passage, and the islands of Fiji have all been top highlights. Barrie also loves exploring the cities of Europe, and is always looking for unique experiences and insider access to their iconic attractions. Recent favorites include Viator's exclusive tour of Paris by 2CV, the Harry Potter Black Taxi Tour of London and the Italian cooking class in Florence. But her top experience so far is Viator's VIP tour of the Sistine Chapel and the Vatican's secret rooms — exclusively available to Viator customers who desire a truly unique and unprecedented experience. See more details in her Viator blog post.

Scott Halstead joined Viator as chief financial officer in February 2010, bringing more than 20 years of experience in building high-growth companies to the Viator team. During those years, Scott put his expertise in finance and corporate leadership to work in the health benefits, payments and information services sectors, including the last 13 years at venture capital-backed entities. Prior to joining Viator, Scott served as CEO of Zane Benefits and CFO and then CEO of WageWorks. Under his leadership at WageWorks, the company was ranked twice by Inc. Magazine as one of the top 30 fastest-growing private companies. Previous to WageWorks, Scott was the CFO and then COO of eBenX, Inc. and led it through its successful IPO. He has an MBA from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and a Bachelor's in Industrial Engineering from Northwestern University.

Scott and his wife have a son and daughter and enjoy living in San Francisco. Scott loves to get on his bicycle when he can: he has completed six double-centuries which entails riding 200 miles in one day (on a bicycle, not a Harley). His career has brought him to work in places like Tokyo and Paris. His favorite holiday (so far) has been to Africa, where he explored South Africa, Botswana and Zambia on his honeymoon.

Jeff Lewis joined Viator's Sydney office in 2007 as vice president of engineering. In this role, Jeff is responsible for the design, development and operations of the IT systems that support Viator.com, Looktours.com and the Company's network of distribution affiliates. Before joining Viator, Jeff was head of software solutions for Sydney-based The Frame Group Pty Limited, an end-to-end technology services firm. An entrepreneur at heart, Jeff founded and sold two internet businesses. In 2000, Jeff founded and served as CEO of Chiizu Pty Ltd, a digital photography software technology and services company which powers the "picture experiences" in many Australian travel activities like Sydney Tower Skywalk, Australia Zoo and Sydney Wildlife World. Chiizu also provides the underlying technology for FujiFilm's e-commerce platform in Australia and Canada. In his first endeavour, just two years after graduating from the University of Waterloo in Canada, Jeff founded ZIVO Pty Ltd, which grew to become one of Australia's leading web solution firms before being sold in 1999 to LibertyOne Pty Ltd.

Jeff's recent travel is usually a family affair that includes his two young sons who always enjoy new experiences. On a recent trip to Malaysia, a couple of Viator activities rated high with the young ones: the Penang Butterfly Farm (highly recommended for kids) and the Langkawi Cable Car - a breathtaking ascent to the top of a mountain. "It's really a joy to experience a double dose of a destination. First, through my own excitement and senses, then through the eyes of my kids, which is even better."

Ken Frohling joined Viator in 2006 bringing nearly 20 years of travel industry expertise to the team, acquired during roles in the cruise, hotel, and travel technology sectors. Ken manages Viator's expanding global network of more than 1,000 distribution partners, actively overseeing relationships with leading companies such as Priceline, British Airways and AAA.

Prior to joining Viator, Ken was Country Manager - Americas at Flairview Travel/HotelClub.com, acquired by Cendant Corporation in 2005. He was previously with Atinera, a joint venture between Amadeus and Fourth Dimension Software.

Ken and his partner are avid travelers (80-plus countries and counting) and spent nine months essentially living in a truck, bush camping in Africa, trekking from Morocco to Cape Town. Though he often dreams of another extended adventure trip, his current vacations are based more around skiing in Colorado and good food and wine anywhere. From pad Thai to pints of ale, Ken's two favorite Viator experiences so far have been the Baipai Thai Cooking School Class in Bangkok and Private Tour of London's Historic Pubs. Ken resides in Baltimore, Maryland.
