Caroline Shin, Founder & CEO of Vacatia

WIP MONDAY Keynote Speaker - Monday, September 16 – 1:15 PM – 2:00 PM

Caroline Shin is the CEO & owner of Vacatia, an innovative hospitality solution that combines her hotel and technology background with vacation and timeshare resorts.

A passionate leader and great advocate for advancing women and supporting DEI, Caroline has a record of building companies that embrace technology to deliver a stellar customer experience. Her story and business success is undeniable, and her journey is fascinating. 

Caroline’s personal and professional story includes growing up in Korea, graduating from Massachusetts Institute of Technology as an Asian woman with a nuclear engineering degree, then leading global CRM and revenue management functions at Starwood Hotels and Resorts. 

Her business interests and curiosity lead her to build things – and this includes creating technology platforms, which she did for Sentient Jet as a Sr. V.P. overseeing client services and command center operations. But it was her love for engineering and website architecture that ultimately aligned her with like-minded business entrepreneurs. In the early 2000s, with the internet exploding, she became one of the founders of Hotwire.
