Blue Ribbon Bags Announces Jake Kotzer As New VP of Partnerships

According to President, Daniel Levine, BRB has had their eyes on Kotzer and his work for years

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / December 14, 2023 / To further establish themselves as the leading lost baggage solutions provider for travelers, Blue Ribbon Bags (BRB) has announced "a huge win" for the company-the hiring of industry expert, Jake Kotzer, as their new VP of Partnerships. Since joining the BRB team in September of this year, Kotzer has already dug into his role, concentrating on developing strong B2B partnerships as Blue Ribbon Bags continues to expand their brand presence.

When it comes to international travel, lost luggage can disrupt even the smoothest of journeys. Blue Ribbon Bags aims to create positive change in the industry and become synonymous with peace of mind for travelers. For $5.00, the company tracks and expedites the return of delayed airline baggage, and, if the luggage remains elusive after 96 hours, BRB guarantees a payout of $1,000 per bag.

Kotzer brings a wealth of experience to his role at Blue Ribbon Bags. As the previous VP of Partnerships for Sherpa, a company specializing in transforming e-visa entry requirements into ancillary revenue streams for partners, Jake played a pivotal role in transitioning the business focus from B2C sales to B2B partnerships. His accomplishments while at Sherpa is what initially caught the attention of BRB's leadership.

Daniel Levine, President of Blue Ribbon Bags, expressed the excitement of bringing Jake on board, saying, "We've always known Jake as friendly competition in the ancillary world. For the past four years, we've been observing and respecting his work, so the moment we heard there was an opportunity to hire him, it was an obvious and immediate choice to everyone on our team, and we went full force, as fast as we could, to make sure that happened."

Since joining BRB a little over two months ago, Jake has immersed himself in the company's mission and identified some challenges posed by BRB's rapid growth. In addressing this, he emphasizes the importance of solidifying the BRB brand name within the industry and building robust relationships to help accomplish this.

"While scaling fast is a great problem to have, rapid growth can also present a lot of challenges," Jake said. "Developing strong relationships at this stage is absolutely essential."

Jake is also focused on proactively working with partners to customize solutions. Commenting on his approach, he noted that he listens intently to the problems faced by partners and always aims to create win-win situations. By understanding the daily struggles of BRB's partners in the airline industry, he is not only able to resolve immediate issues using BRB's product but also position BRB as a strategic partner for future challenges that may arise.

When speaking about his aspirations for Blue Ribbon Bags a few years from now, Jake's vision is that BRB will be available and recognizable on every major airline. He envisions a future where passengers, missing their bags on the carousel, find solace knowing the issue will be swiftly resolved with the help of Blue Ribbon Bags services.

"This is the change that we want to be in the airline industry-fixing simple things that make a big difference," Jake said. "I'm proud to be part of the team at Blue Ribbon Bags that is helping to shape this transformation."

While Blue Ribbon Bags is still a young company, the company has been gaining media attention since President Daniel Levine was recently featured in Entrepreneur Magazine as one of the "Top Ten Travel Entrepreneurs to Watch." Now, with Kotzer as part of their talented leadership team, BRB is poised to redefine the narrative of lost luggage, helping to alleviate stress and create smoother experiences for millions of travelers around the world.
