Who We Are :

We are Destify! We focus on our people, our culture, and our technology. We’re reimagining the destination wedding experience, simplifying the complex, celebrating the meaningful, and building technology that connects thousands of couples to their dream celebrations.

Who You Are And What You’ll Do

An experienced VP who will lead the vision, strategy, and execution of our technology and product platforms, shaping the future of destination weddings. You’ll sit on the company leadership team while overseeing both the Product and Engineering and Design functions, ensuring seamless collaboration, innovation, and delivery.

In this role, you’ll be responsible not only for innovating new capabilities but also for strengthening and evolving our existing product stack—improving performance, scalability, and reliability as we prepare to scale Destify’s platform and accelerate our growth. You will apply AI as a pragmatic force multiplier across discovery, delivery, and operations—establishing clear guardrails and ROI criteria so the “latest” tool doesn’t automatically mean “best.”
