ABOUT US
WHAT INSPIRES US
PASSION
The Manifest team collectively shares a passion for travel, different and diverse. We know that time away is important. We have committed ourselves to the creation of a company that provides a new, innovative way for our members to experience a variety of offerings where planning is no longer a concern.
Our passion to deliver these experiences extends to the very fabric of why Manifest was created – with the promise that we deliver to our members new and exciting trips that change the way they can enjoy life.
COMMITMENT
Just as important as our passion for travel is our commitment to member satisfaction and exhilaration.
Our mission at Manifest guides us to take on any challenge that stands between you and fulfilling adventures.
MANIFEST
When selecting a name and creating a brand promise, we felt that "Manifest" embodies everything we want to be for our members -- your path to the vacations you’ve always wanted to spend with family and friends.
"Manifest" in its noun form refers to those traveling on a particular flight, which is an homage to our chapter-based membership. In its verb form, "manifest" refers to the act of making something happen – we hope to help you manifest your dream travel lifestyle.
OUR TEAM
Jeff Potter
Founder and CEO
Born in France and living abroad for much of his upbringing set the stage for Jeff's
passion for traveling and experiencing different cultures. His travels have since taken
him to all corners of the world including the Galapagos Islands, the Dalmation Coast,
and Vietnam just to name a few. During his travels, as he was exposed to new settings
and adventures, it strengthened his belief that much was yet to be discovered within a
matter of hours of where he lives. This progression of thought is the premise for the
travel experiences offered by Manifest - you don't have to go far to go beyond.
During his extensive career in aviation and hospitality, which included CEO roles at
Frontier Airlines, Exclusive Resorts, CMH Heli-Skiing, and Surf Air, he fortunately
achieved some successes, but more importantly lessons learned - all of which have been
incorporated into the foundation of Manifest to ensure that our member experience
exceeds all expectations.
