Trivago watched its revenue forecast plummet from $1 billion to nearly zero-so the company tapped a set of former interns to turn it around
Briefly

Trivago, once facing dire financial challenges, is undergoing a significant transformation led by its top executives, three of whom started their careers as interns. This unique background positions them to revitalize the company, aiming to boost it back to billions in revenue. Their journey highlights the importance of nurturing talent from within and the effectiveness of utilizing leaders who are intimately familiar with the organization's culture and operations, suggesting a strong strategy for growth and innovation.
Three out of four of Trivago's top leaders-including the CEO, CFO, and CMO-were all once interns. Now, they're trying to turn the company from the brink of extinction back to bringing in billions in revenue.
