Your Invitation to the
Travel Tamers Alpha Program
Why We're Reaching Out to Kensho Technologies
- Your Collab Weeks bring your entire distributed team together in Cambridge multiple times a year — a signature part of Kensho's culture
- With a remote-first workforce spread across the country and offices in both Cambridge and New York, your team travels regularly to connect in person
- Your Knowledge Days and team volunteering initiatives show a commitment to in-person experiences that go beyond typical meetings
- As part of S&P Global, your team participates in parent company events and serves clients across major financial institutions worldwide
Kensho's Collab Weeks are a standout example of how a remote-first company can maintain deep, in-person connection. Flying your entire distributed team to Cambridge multiple times a year is a significant investment in togetherness — and Travel Tamers can help make every gathering seamless, from flights and hotels to team dinners and offsites.
