Who are we?
Founded in 2019 in Switzerland, we are on a mission to democratize personal trip planning. We're an international team with an obsession for unique travel experiences and bringing it to the masses.
Brice
Founder and CEO
Brice here. I was tired of spending my time planning when I should be out on an adventure, so I decided to fix it. I found my passion as a traveler while growing up between the US and Europe. I like taking things apart and riding my electric skateboard to band practice (death metal reggae). One day I will visit Mars but I hope they have wifi.
Studied Mechanical Engineering at Bucknell University and got an MBA from University of St. Gallen (Switzerland). Founder Institute Zurich class of 2020.
Matt
Operations and Marketing
Hey it’s Matt! I was somehow convinced to move to the desert, so I spend my days dodging the phoenix sun and daydreaming about my next big trip. I love cooking for my family, watching philadelphia sports, and complaining about cooking for my family and philadelphia sports. In my travels, I’m always taking the road less traveled and excited about the opportunities Ravel will present for finding hidden nooks and crannies the world has to offer.
I’ve spent the past 10 years working for Fortune 500 companies. I have a Master’s in Information Science from Columbia University, an MBA in marketing and Bachelors in Architecture from Drexel University.
Peter
Chief Technology Officer
I’m Peter. I love sports (primarily baseball and soccer), various adventure activities (mountain biking, skateboarding, scuba, sailing), and traveling with my family. My favorite trips have been New Zealand and Indonesia, with Spain and Alaska getting honorable mentions. I’ve spent my career working to get powerful technology into the hands of non-technical people including filmmakers, graphic artists, video game designers, and podcast producers and their audience. And now - travelers!
I studied physics at the University of California, Berkeley, and earned an MBA from the Haas School of Business there as well.
Andy
Data Science and Machine Learning
I'm Andy and I'm passionate about mountains and tech. Starting my academic career in life sciences, I soon understood the power of digital technology and became a digital immigrant. Topics like sustainability and in-silico drug engineering make my heart beat faster. At Ravel, I'm merging human learning with machine learning and natural intelligence with artificial intelligence.
PhD in Chemical and Bioengineering with strong affinity for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence.

Libby
Marketing and Biz Development Intern
Hi I’m Libby and I love to play guitar, travel, swim in the ocean, and ski! I’m currently finishing my Communications degree at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, California. I grew up just outside of San Francisco and spend a lot of time outdoors when I visit home. I’m known best for sending my friends a bunch of delicious recipes but never actually cooking them and for always having a cup of coffee in my hand.
My love for finding creative ways to connect with people led me to digital marketing. Marketing and my love for travel brought me to intern with Ravel! I’m so excited by the future of Ravel as so many travel opportunities re-open!
Nicole
Marketing & Biz Development Intern
I’m Nicole and I love language, culture, and of course traveling! I am from the United States, but you can find me taking my classes remotely in the Czech Republic or Portugal. I’m always looking for the next great adventure, and I love sharing my passions with others. When I’m not abroad, you can find me spending copious amounts of money on Uber eats because my demand for takeout is inelastic.
Economics and Portuguese Major with a minor in Entrepreneurship at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ‘22 (Go Heels!).
