From travel agent to tech pioneer: in this episode, Jörg shares how a career that started in a small travel agency in 1988 evolved into building one of the leading ERP platforms for the travel industry. He walks through the early days of travel tech—when centralized databases and internet connectivity were considered “crazy ideas”—and how those foundations eventually led to the creation of Midoco. You’ll hear how the company was deliberately built without a single customer requirement, why workflow automation has always been at its core, and how real-world pain points (like hundreds of agents manually processing bookings) shaped the product. The conversation also dives into the role of a COO in a growing travel tech company, the challenges of scaling internationally, and where AI actually adds value—and where it doesn’t. A grounded perspective on innovation in travel: less hype, more practical insight.
