Delia Franco

  • Project Manager
Delia has 20 years travel experience and is our nice but firm taskmaster. Delia has spent 20 years on the commercial side at various travel companies and knows her onions.

John Andrew - Founder

Job Titles:
  • Co - Founder
John is the fount of travel industry knowledge for the company. He also dabbles in writing code occasionally, for which we apologise in advance. John is one of Cool Digital's co-founders. John has over 25 years experience in the management of strategic business and technical change and project delivery. He held senior positions at Lanyon, Opodo, Thomson (TUI) and Virgin Holidays before setting up Cool Travel in 2012 and Cool Digital in 2017. Over the last 20 years, he has been leading projects replacing the reservation systems and websites of major travel companies, including those of Opodo/Odigeo, TUI, Virgin, Monarch, Cosmos Tours & Cruises, Avalon, and Transat and has distilled the learnings from these many complex projects into a simple selling system for the much smaller companies in the travel industry who are not usually so well looked after as the bigger ones.

Mike Kavros

Job Titles:
  • IT Ops and Dev Ops Manager
We think that Mike might be the happiest man alive. Even when he's worked all night on a server setup and been awoken by a screaming baby 5 minutes after getting to sleep, he smiles graciously. Being calm and happy is vital for a Dev Ops guy because he knows that he will have foreseen the problem and already has a plan to fix it quickly. We think that Mike might be the happiest man alive.

Victor Candi

Job Titles:
  • Lead Back - End Developer
Victor is The Perfectionist. Never a design meeting goes past without his worrying that a minor detail has been forgotten. Airlines and hotels systems therefore infuriate him in their inconsistencies but he's fighting to fix that. Victor is The Perfectionist.
