Stéphane Pingaud

CEO

The idea behind flyiin dates back to 2004, when Stéphane was heading airline distribution strategy at Amadeus. As the original founder of flyiin, he can finally bring his idea to life, and with this talented team of engineers and product specialists, drive the modernization of an industry that badly needs it.

Catharina Schulze

Head of People & Operations

Catharina is not a stranger to the start up scene, coming from a Berlin-based gaming start up where she helped build the foundations and grow it to a 40+ people company. As we’ve been transitioning from a two men shop to a multi- disciplinary and growing team, her experience is certainly a great asset to flyiin.
