As rideshare drivers, we always want to give the best possible experience to our customers, the passengers. We want to WOW them, impress them, and hopefully get a big tip out of it too, right?

Payam Safa is the founder and CEO of Bellhop, America's leading rideshare aggregator. Prior to Bellhop, Payam was founder and CEO of Chanelink an online platform, automating channel management for hotels and was co founder of a boutique hotel chain in Indonesia called Batiqa. By himself was also a consultant for Accenture where he built enterprise systems for Fortune 500 clients and program drones with secret government clearance for Northrop Grumman Corporation.
