Darren Huston- Business Person Of The Year 2015

Huston has been at the Priceline Group since only 2014, but the CEO is making big moves and they’re already paying off: The company sold $50 billion worth of travel in 2014 and posted an 11% increase in profits in its most recent quarter. Huston shapes the company in two ways: First, his experience in digital at Microsoft and consumer services at Starbucks have made him a meticulous, hands-on operator. One of the Priceline Group’s units, Booking.com, employs A/B testing on every aspect of an app, website, and advertisement. In fact, the CEO says there isn’t a “semicolon on any of [their] sites that isn’t A/B tested.”
