Árni Gunnar Ragnarsson

With over two decades of experience in the travel industry, I’ve witnessed firsthand the transformative power of technology and how it has reshaped the way travel professionals operate. I’ve had the privilege of working alongside some of the most forward-thinking companies in the industry, gaining valuable insights into how innovation can revolutionize business operations.

Throughout my career, I’ve developed and maintained booking solutions for some of the largest companies in Scandinavia, including Icelandair, Lastminute.com, Holiday Autos Nordic, FI Travel, and many others. My work has helped make the travel dreams of hundreds of thousands of travelers a reality.

After completing my last full-time assignment in 2019 and exploring a few non-travel-related ventures, I felt a strong pull to return to my passion: the travel industry. This led to the creation of Itsy, a project born from my desire to innovate and bring something groundbreaking to the travel world.

Building Itsy in public has been an exciting journey, and I’ve been openly sharing the development process — with a few breaks — since early 2021.

So, join me at Itsy, and let’s shape the future of travel together!
