A visionary in business travel

Tobias Ragge embodies the spirit of entrepreneurship in its second generation. Taking over the company, he transformed its legacy—turning it into a global technology company. Today, he and his team are redefining how businesses stay, work, and pay.

What sets Tobias apart is his visionary mindset. He recognized the disruptive power of the internet, data, and AI early on. His goal? Positioning HRS at the forefront of this digital transformation. From pioneering SaaS models to driving sustainability initiatives like Green Stay, Tobias is both innovator and intrapreneur-in-chief. He lives and breathes the company values like resilience, customer-centricity, and empowerment. His leadership style is competitive yet collaborative. Driven yet people-focused. Pragmatic yet pioneering.

For the HRS Tribe, he is more than a CEO—he is the embodiment of the company’s purpose to make business life better and to continually challenge the status quo in travel tech.
