On-demand charter platform Victor appointed Joe Cohen its new CEO, making him responsible for accelerating growth at the company. Cohen previously co-founded PropertyWorks and was also the founder-CEO of the online ticket marketplace Seatwave. He also served as global COO of dating website Match and has worked in senior roles for Ticketmaster, Virgin, and Disney.
Clive Jackson, Victor founder and now founder-CEO of parent company Alyssum Group, said, “Joe is the ideal candidate to lead the next stage of Victor’s journey. He has more than 20 years of experience of creating compelling customer offerings in fragmented industries and growing big tech brands that put customers first.”
Cohen will lead a global team of more than 115 Victor staff. Though based at Victor’s headquarters in London, he will operate on both sides of the Atlantic as Victor develops its presence in North America. The company opened a headquarters in Manhattan last year.
“With the world’s wealthy population increasing, a growing appetite among millennials for experiential travel, and the ongoing shift from jet ownership to charter, there are exciting tailwinds that Victor especially can leverage,” said Cohen. “By developing Victor’s digital marketplace and supporting our supply base’s transition to online we, and the wider market, stand to deepen customer engagement, lower costs, and further establish private charter as a viable form of 21st century mobility.”
