The new head of legal at Orbitz Worldwide Inc. joins the online travel business after a considerable trek through corporate lawand across much of the country under his own power.
JIM ROGERS took his seat as the company’s general counsel, senior vice president, and corporate secretary in mid-August, hard upon the heels of a bicycle trip in which he cycled 850 miles. The self-described “road warrior” turned the trip into a charitable event for nonprofit network Appleseed, the pro bono organization that he has contributed to throughout his career. While on the road he also tried out his new employer’s services, booking hotels along the route using the Hotels by Orbitz iPad app.
