Dan Swain is a strategic account executive for ARC (the Airlines Reporting Corporation). He started his airline career with stints at US Airways and Austrian Airlines, but fully embraced his inner data geek in his role at ARC over the past 15 years. Dan works with ARC’s emerging markets, which can be everything from DMOs and airport authorities to travel tech, ground transportation, hotel, and finance—trying to demystify airline ticketing data to the masses.

Dan works from his home office in Washington D.C. and is always dreaming of his next trip, and then how to make that work with a new 10-month-old baby and his 7-year-old yellow lab. It’s the most challenging part of his day.
