Dinova's Vic Macchio Named Among Corporate Travel's 25 Most Influential Executives

ATLANTA, Dec. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Business Travel News (BTN), a leading travel industry trade publication, named Dinova CEO and founder Vic Macchio to its 25 Most Influential Business Travel Executives list for 2014. Citing five-year-old Dinova's progress in "achieving critical mass and securing one-third of America's highest travel-spending companies as clients," BTN honored Mr. Macchio, along with other industry executives, at an event in New York City earlier this month.

Mr. Macchio's inclusion is noteworthy as it marks the first time in the 30-year history of BTN that an executive linked to the restaurant industry has been named to the Most Influential list.

Dinova connects the 12,000-plus restaurants in its network with a growing roster of corporate clients. By helping companies steer their road warriors and event planners to Dinova network restaurants, Dinova helps travel programs gain previously unattainable value and savings from their dining spend. Restaurants in Dinova's network gain from increased traffic from its corporate clients; sales driven by Dinova clients at network restaurants have increased by eight percent this year. Dinova's clients cumulatively spend more than $2 billion on dining annually.

"This honor is a testament to several years of hard work by the Dinova team, as we've successfully introduced and proven a new business model to both corporations and restaurants," said Mr. Macchio. "It also is a milestone for the many Dinova clients who grasped the new concept of corporate dining spend management, and are continually taking steps to educate their travelers and event planners about the benefits of using preferred Dinova network restaurants."

Mr. Macchio launched Atlanta-based Dinova in 2009 after a successful period as a travel industry consultant. Before his consultancy, he held a variety of executive roles during a 17-year career with American Express. Mr. Macchio, a New York native, is a graduate of Queens College and holds an MBA from Villanova University. He lives with his wife and two sons in John's Creek, GA.
