Brian Altomare | Source | Founder at LugLess

Brian has spent 10+ years focused on growing consumer facing brands and services in a variety of industries ranging from college shipping and storage, luggage shipping, travel tech, to on demand marketplace platforms.

He has worked for the past 7 years heading up partnerships for LugLess, a tech enabled, low cost luggage shipping service for travelers looking to ship their luggage vs. lugging it to and from the airport and paying airlines hefty fees to do so. Brian founded LugLess, ran it for 6 years, took it on hit shows like ABC’s Shark Tank, and sold it in 2014. He’s seen it grow from a fledgling travel service to a leading brand in the travel space.

Brian’s role since he rejoined the company in 2018 has been focused around finding, fostering, and closing technology based and strategic partnerships with some of the largest (and smallest) companies in the airline, OTA, hospitality, GDS, and travel tech space. In addition to his leadership role at LugLess, Brian has perfected the art of packing a carry-on size bag and avoided paying airline baggage fees on over 200 flight.
