Jerome Touze and Peter Ward

Jerome Touze (right) and Peter Ward established travel social networking site Where Are You Now? (WAYN) in September 2002. WAYN helps travellers stay in touch with their friends but also publishes reviews of hotels, restaurants and tourist sites.

With initial seed capital funding from Steven Pankhurst, founder of Friends Reunited, the website has grown into one of the largest travel and lifestyle social networking communities with over 9 million members in over 200 countries worldwide.

Initially started as a sideline, Jerome and Peter have since left their jobs as management consultants to work full time on the site, which was recently named the fifth fastest growing social network and boasts a number of high-profile business figures on the board including Brent Hoberman, of lastminute.com.
