Case study

Web personalization platform

Built a personalization strategy and platform that enabled rapid experimentation and delivered significant booking uplift.

Context

Improving discovery and relevance on the web funnel was a major lever for bookings. The challenge was scaling personalization beyond one-off experiments.

Role & Scope

Led strategy and roadmap; built a high-performing team across backend, frontend, and ML capabilities.

Problem

How can we enable teams to launch high-quality personalization experiences quickly, safely, and measurably across the funnel?

Approach

  • Product vision: articulated a clear platform direction that earned executive sponsorship.
  • Platform investment: built reusable capabilities for segmentation, A/B/n testing, and ranking.
  • Enablement: created a no-code layer so internal teams could launch experiences without heavy engineering lift.

Outcomes

  • Delivered material booking uplift (~500 bps).
  • Enabled 120+ campaigns launched in the first year through the no-code platform.

Tradeoffs

Optimized for repeatable, governed experimentation rather than bespoke “hero” features.

Learnings

Personalization scales when experimentation, governance, and ML tooling are treated as a platform — not a project.
