VP-level ecommerce in cruise is a genuine specialty. The people who understand direct booking strategy, OTA channel economics, and digital revenue architecture in travel are a small population. Most operators have never had someone with your background in the room — and they pay for that gap every year in OTA commissions they did not have to spend.
How to describe what you do

Your pitch changes depending on who you're talking to. Here are three versions.

"I help travel and hospitality brands close the gap between their digital revenue potential and what they are actually capturing. My most recent role was VP Ecommerce at MSC Cruises, running ecommerce at scale. Now I do focused engagements that move the numbers that matter — direct booking conversion, OTA dependency, ancillary attach."
Use this with VPs and C-suite buyers at cruise lines, hotel groups, and tour operators. "Digital revenue potential" and "OTA dependency" signal you understand their P&L. Let them ask follow-up questions.
"I help travel businesses sell more online without building a bigger team. Most operators have a website that exists but does not convert. I figure out why and fix it — usually in 60 to 90 days. I have done it at scale at MSC Cruises. Now I do it for companies that cannot afford a full-time VP."
Use this with independent agencies, boutique operators, and destination experience companies in South Florida. The "60 to 90 days" framing matters — they want a result with a timeline, not an open-ended engagement.
"Ecommerce advisor, travel and hospitality. I help brands stop losing revenue to OTA fees they do not have to pay. Most recently VP Ecommerce at MSC Cruises — now independent."
Do not say "open to opportunities." Do not say "passionate about travel." "Now independent" does the work — it says you chose this and you are not looking for a job.

Your first three moves
You know enough to start.
Here's what to do this week.
Most people wait until everything is ready. Nothing is ever ready. These three moves get you visible, credible, and in motion — before you feel ready to be any of those things.
01
This week
Write your first case study.
A case study is the single most useful thing you can have before your first client conversation. Not a resume line. A story: what was broken, what you did, what changed — with a number at the end. Describe a project below and we'll write it for you.
Case study generator
02
This month
Have three conversations in your network.
Not pitches. Tell people you have left and are thinking about advisory work. Ask what is hard in their business right now. You are not closing anyone — you are learning what the problem sounds like in their words.
Core — Conversation tracker
Log every conversation, track who you have talked to, and never lose a warm lead. Core keeps your pipeline visible so nothing falls through.

Two sentences. No announcement. Just update it and let it exist.
Core — LinkedIn content engine
Posts written in your voice, from what you actually know. Show up as an expert — not as someone who is looking.
