Winston Lord

I have 30 years of marketing, public relations and business experience, which took off after my short-lived barback career of 3 days - my best friend in College hired then fired me. Luckily, my passion for hospitality lived on and inspired me to co-found Venga in 2010. I wanted to put the power back in restaurants’ hands and allow them to own their story and control their marketing. In 2019, Venga was acquired by Booking Holdings (BKNG), the world's leader in online travel. Brands include Kayak, Priceline, Agoda and OpenTable.
