Samuel Daams’s Experience

• Owner

  x-plore AS

  (Recreational Facilities and Services industry)

  2004 — Present (5 years )

  Bought out majority share in company when things weren't going so well and helped it turn around. Redid branding and added more global programs, improved margins and created a stronger online presence.

• Owner

  Tupela Ltd. AS

  (Online Media industry)

  2002 — Present (7 years )

  Co-founded Tupela in 2002 with the launch of Travellerspoint.com, a global travel community. Bought out Travelblogs.com in 2006 and launched Chinese versions of Travellerspoint in 2009.

• International Product Manager

  Work & Travel Company International

  (Leisure, Travel & Tourism industry)

  June 2002 — December 2002 (7 months)

  This job sounded a lot better than it was. But it led to my meeting my wife and taking over a travel business in Norway a year and a half later, so I can't complain!

• Gatekeeper / Developer

  Nike EMEA

  (Public Company; NKE; Sporting Goods industry)

  August 2001 — June 2002 (11 months)

  Good times at Nike. Filling in for someone else to start with, then working in professional sports department. Got sucked back into travel business after one year with lure of management job, but always enjoyed Nike!
