RIP Cendant - where are they now

With the end of a an era and death of the Cendant name thought I should point a few links to where ex-Cendant people have ended up in online travel and media. Lots of examples of start-up activity
  • ex-Orbitz, Loding.com and Cheaptickets hotel supply boss Fred Bean has set up his own hospitality technology business - Rebel Travel
  • ex-Ebookers hotel boss Ranjan Singh founded a destination/activities site - Isango
  • ex-Octopustravel boss Daniela Wagner has turned up at Tralliance Company, the .travel Registry company
  • Former Flairview founders and bosses have launched an online menu and restaurant service Menulog
  • Former asia-hotels owner probably has the best job as he and his family are sailing around the world
  • Former head of European product for Galileo is back in Australia working for Amex
  • Others have ended up Australian ticketing company Ticketek, Advertising revolutionary company Spotrunner, destination player Viator and the Red Rat Qantas
  • and of course me at netus
  • UPDATE - Here's a good one - sports drinks. Former Iberian marketing manager for HoteClub and RatesToGo Alex Baneres is the new MD for the Australian operation of Verofit.
(not sure what the blog etiquette is about naming names so have kept private some of them).

If you know of more, please add to the comments. I'll update more as they come to mind.
