Meet The Founders
Henry’s interest in the travel industry started as an airline employee back in 1971 and he has been involved in the promotion of tourism to this day. After working for several airlines over 24 years, he launched KAI in 1995 alongside his wife, Claire. Today, Henry and Claire enjoy a quieter life from their home in Arizona, while remaining involved in the business as Chairman and Chief Financial Officier, respectively.
“Watching the development of KAI into a market leader in the marketing & sales representation space was something we always considered our greatest achievement. However, we can now state with great certainty that our best decision in a lifetime of work was bringing our son David into KAI. He has taken KAI to the next level with new ideas and a far greater vision while building a first class team!”
While Henry and Claire are not as involved in the day to day happenings at KAI, they are active in the work of the KAI Foundation, and supporting the philanthropic efforts of our partners. You will always catch them at TTE, KAI’s annual trade show, or exploring another incredible destination. When not traveling, Henry and Claire are typically within a few miles of at least one of their grandchildren and always bringing joy to those around them.
