The Team

Hugo Burge, Chairman & Co-Founder

Hugo Burge is an internet entrepreneur and new media consultant with a fascinating background (just for the record he didn't say that). He was recently named The British Travel Industry Hall of Fame 2008 Young Entrepreneur of the Year. Hugo is a Cambridge University graduate and a member of the Royal Geographical Society, but these days his interests are mostly about saving money on the web. After jointly buying Cheapflights off the founder in March 2000 he has spent the last 8 years building up the Company from a team of 3 with his business partner David Soskin.

In 2003 he flew over the pond from the muddy (but charming) little islands known as the United Kingdom and founded Cheapflights.com in the US market with an office in Boston. Cheapflights is a site dedicated to helping flyers make good purchasing decisions and, obviously, to save as much money as possible. Under Hugo's guidance, Cheapflights.com has grown into one of the most recognized travel-related sites on the web. In 2007, Hugo joined forces with David Soskin to launch HOWZAT media, an Internet investment fund. Not long after and with many sleepless nights CheapToday.com was brought into the world. Why expand out of travel? Well, he noticed 20% of Americans have passports but 100% have wallets... LinkedIn profile

Who is CT?

If you've spent anytime at all on CheapToday.com, you've noticed our little friend, CT. CheapToday wouldn't be complete without this fun-loving character, who sprints from store to store looking for the best deals and lowest prices. Just like the rest of us at CheapToday, CT hates to pay retail and would rather run all day after a cheap deal than stand in line to pay full price. When you see CT, you know great discounts are close by!
