RateGain Strengthens Sojern Leadership
RateGain Travel Technologies Limited announced on March 23, 2026, the appointment of Sylvia Weiler as President and General Manager of Sojern’s Global Destinations business. Sojern, which was acquired by RateGain in 2025, is a crucial part of RateGain’s strategy as a global provider of AI-powered SaaS solutions for the travel industry.
Weiler’s Role and Mandate
In her new capacity, Weiler will be responsible for leading Sojern’s Destinations business globally. Her primary focus will be guiding Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs) to navigate shifting traveler discovery patterns, demonstrate tangible economic impact, and utilize AI-powered intelligence for smarter marketing outcomes. This comes at a time when DMOs face mounting pressure to prove measurable results against rapidly changing search behaviors driven by AI.
Deep Industry Experience
Weiler brings extensive experience across travel, tourism, and destination marketing. She was instrumental in building Sojern’s destination business previously and held senior leadership roles at Zartico (as Chief Revenue Officer), Tripadvisor, and Airbnb. Mark Rabe, CEO of Sojern, emphasized that Sylvia’s expertise at the intersection of travel, data, and technology makes her the perfect leader for this new growth phase.
Strategic Alignment Post-Acquisition
This appointment follows the recent consolidation of RateGain’s martech business under Sojern, solidifying RateGain’s position as a major source of travel intent data. Weiler’s leadership will help align Sojern across its three core verticals: Corporate, Property, and Destinations. RateGain views this move as reinforcing its commitment to building category-leading leadership within its AI-powered travel commerce and marketing portfolio.
