Porter & Sail hit the sweet spot of mobile, personalization, ancillary revenue and hospitality in the mid-2010s.

The company launched in 2014 with a vision to provide hotels with a service that could act as a concierge service for guests on their devices.

Since creating the business, CEO Caitlin Zaino von During has had to navigate challenges and take opportunities - most recently, at the onset of the coronavirus, pivoting the company to something different entirely.

Her story and that of the company is one of seizing chances when they come and not being afraid to move fast when the need arises. 

Zaino von During joins is the latest guest on How I Got Here.

HIGH is a weekly show produced by PhocusWire and Mozio, aimed at getting the inside stories behind startups and innovation in travel and transportation.

It's hosted by PhocusWire's editor in chief, Kevin May, and Mozio co-founder and CEO David Litwak.
