The current investment climate no longer values growth at all costs. That's the reality Hopper, the fast-growing online travel and fintech company, faces as it charts a way forward.
Just days before announcing a reduction in its workforce, Hopper CEO Fred Lalonde joined Dennis Schaal, executive editor and founding editor of Skift, at the 10th Skift Global Forum to discuss the company's strategic direction and profit goals.
Lalonde also addressed the breakup with Expedia. Lalonde stated that Hopper's fintech products "have high customer satisfaction rates and have been successful in protecting customers' travel investments."
