John Henderson, the former Chief Information Officer at WorldStrides, has accepted a new position with Marker Trax, executing new operator and customer initiatives, directing pursuit of key performance indicators, and ensuring overall product and technology quality control.
Henderson has more than 40 years of experience in building the industry footprint of the companies he has worked at previously and will report directly to current Marker Trax President Charlie Skinner. Henderson will be expected to help Marker Trax provide technology-based business solutions while also solidifying market shares for the company.
“We’re cementing our leadership position in the cashless space, and John is the right leader, at the right time, to help guide us there,” said Skinner.
“He has tactical expertise, and a long track record of success in the IT space. More than that, though, he’s always eager to innovate – which aligns perfectly with our philosophy and goals. We’re lucky to have him on board.”
During his time with WorldStrides, an educational travel services provider, Henderson oversaw the construction of the company’s business and IT transformation program. He was also tasked with client partner roles at Accenture, IBM and Cognizant, and has assisted with brands including Choice Hotels, Hilton Hotels, MGM Resorts, Wynn, Disney, and Royal Caribbean.
“Every step of his career, John’s shown natural aptitude for client relationship management and large-scale systems integrations, and a keen, tactical eye for optimizing performance at all levels of an operation. At Marker Trax, we’re increasing our market footprint through continual innovation, and John’s tactical leadership will be of tremendous benefit to reaching our goals,” Skinner said.
