Arthur Waller

I studied economics and econometrics at Sciences Po and Ecole Polytechnique. Then I interned at the IMF in Libreville (Gabon) working on bank monitoring and the selectivity of custom controls. After this, I interned in the Global Investment Research Department at Goldman Sachs in London. I supported my team in applying economists' forecasts and industry specialists analyses to GS' portfolio strategy recommendations (sector, index and country levels). Then, using my economic and econometric skills, I founded PriceMatch with some friends (mostly economists and software developers). PriceMatch focused on industrializing and democratizing revenue management. We build algorithms predicting future demand and giving price recommendations to hotels. PriceMatch has been acquired by Booking.com in May 2015, and integrated within its new B2B software suite for hotels, called BookingSuite. After 3.5 years at Booking, first BookingSuite and then in the Pricing Department, I took some time off to travel the world. I'm a startup enthusiast and occasionally also an investor and mentor.
