Wachterman has served for the past 15 years as Director of the United Airlines IT Department, and is part of a comprehensive expansion in the company, which is currently establishing a global business development system.

"From the beginning of 2021, there is a huge interest from airlines in the Fetcherr system. Following the significant growth expected for the company in the next two years, we have recruited, in addition to Alex Cruz, the outgoing chairman of British Airways, a "dream team" of world aviation executives to help us realize our great potential during this period,” said Robby Nissan, who is Fetcherr’s co-founder & Chief Business Development Officer.

 

Fetcherr developed an agnostic system for forecasting demand and creating continuous pricing for the aviation and tourism field. The technology is based on a combination of AI and machine learning. The company was established in 2019, currently employing 34 people, and has raised $4.5 million. Today, it works with two leading airline companies, and is currently conducting advanced negotiations with international companies in the cargo, hotels and car rental fields. The company's offices are located in Netanya, Israel.
