Glenn D Fogel

Mr. Fogel, who was previously a trader and an investment banker, joined Booking in February 2000 as a young manager. At the time, the company, which began in 1997, was known as Priceline.com. In 2005, it bought a small Dutch start-up, Booking.com, which people use to book lodging. Booking.com became the largest division in the company, which took its name. In May 2020, Booking, which has 26,000 employees, has laid off 1,900 people at Kayak, OpenTable and Agoda, its subsidiary in Singapore. It also furloughed 1,800 workers in Britain under the country’s relief plan and applied for aid from the Netherlands.
