Bio

Brandon Cosinteno is COO of Live Luxe Travel, where he's turned a lifelong love of travel and aviation into a career built on precision, service, and vision. Alongside his husband, he's helped grow the company into a trusted name in luxury travel, driving operations with the same care he brings to every client experience. He's someone whose passion, integrity, and drive inspire everyone around him.

Cosinteno has made a lasting impact by championing the voice of the traveler within the industry itself. Rather than simply booking stays, he actively advocates for his clients with hotel partners, offering candid, constructive feedback on where properties can improve. His passion for continuous improvement pushes hotels to elevate their service standards, creating better experiences not just for his own clients but for guests industry-wide. This dedication to raising the bar reflects his belief that luxury travel should mean genuine excellence, not just a price tag, and it's earned him respect as a trusted, honest partner among hospitality providers.

He's always watching his inbox, ready to answer a question or solve a problem the moment it arises. Cosinteno is a great communicator, keeping clients and partners informed and at ease every step of the way. What truly sets him apart, though, is his willingness to go the extra mile, whether that means chasing down a special request, smoothing over a hiccup, or simply making sure a client feels taken care of. That combination of speed, clarity, and genuine effort is what makes people trust him again and again.

Cosinteno is 39 years old.

"Being named to the TravelPulse 40 Under 40 is an incredible achievement and I'm so honored to be part of such an elite group of travel professionals and thought leaders," said Cosinteno. "It reinforces my commitment to provide the best possible service to my clients, to be the best possible leader to my team and to be the best possible partner to my peers in the industry."

"I have the privilege of knowing Brandon both as CEO of our company and, personally, as his husband, giving me a unique view into the depth of his commitment to this industry," said Nick Cosinteno, CEO of Live Luxe Travel.

"Brandon has built his career on a genuine love of travel and aviation, and that passion shows in everything he does," he said.

"He is a true travel expert, with a depth of industry knowledge that makes him a trusted resource for our team, our travel partners, and our clients alike. He doesn't just book trips; he advocates for the people he serves, regularly providing hotels with candid, constructive feedback on where they can improve. His drive for continuous improvement pushes our partners to raise their standards, benefiting travelers well beyond our own client base," added Cosinteno.

"I've had the opportunity to work alongside Brandon for the past six years, and during that time I've had a front-row seat to watching him build his business, grow his team, and establish himself as one of the most respected young leaders in our industry," said Liane Mannes, Account Director, Travel Industry Sales, Americas, Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts.

"Together with his business partner, Nick, Brandon has done something truly remarkable. Watching them build Live Luxe Travel as an independent agency and continue to scale it successfully has been inspiring. Their success is rooted in their willingness to think outside the box, challenge the status quo, and continuously look for ways to evolve. They are strategic, innovative, and always focused on what comes next," added Mannes.

"Brandon's leadership style is also something that deserves recognition. He leads with kindness, authenticity, and a genuine desire to help others succeed. His team looks to him not only as a leader, but as a mentor and source of inspiration. He has created a culture that values collaboration, professionalism, and excellence, which is reflected in the growth and success of Live Luxe Travel," said Mannes.

"What excites me most is that I truly believe Brandon is just getting started. He and Nick are always looking ahead, thinking about how they can improve, innovate, and contribute to the future of travel. Their passion for the industry is contagious, and their impact continues to grow year after year."
