Priceline.com Inc.

Overview

Priceline.com Inc. is an online travel company where buyers can "name their own price" for airline tickets, hotel rooms, rental cars, cruises, and vacation packages.

The company, based in Norwalk, Conn., is perhaps best known for its commercials featuring veteran character actor William Shatner as the "The Priceline Negotiator."

As more travelers book their trips via the Internet, Priceline.com has seen steady sales growth and a rising stock price, even during the recent U.S. economic downturn.

HVS Executive Search, a hotel consulting and services firm, honored the company's chief executive, Jeffery Boyd, as the lodging industry’s top-performing CEO of 2009.
