Former Marriott Chief Marketer Joins Atlas Obscura's Board of Directors

Karin Timpone is in, alongside former HuffPost editor in chief Lydia Polgreen

Atlas Obscura, the media and experiences company that promises to take travelers off the beaten path, has expanded its board of directors to include former Marriott global marketing officer Karin Timpone alongside former HuffPost editor in chief Lydia Polgreen.

Both are expected to help Atlas Obscura grow in an uncertain environment as the brand’s heavy investment in experiences and trips—like a photography course in Chernobyl and bird watching in New Zealand—have been taken online as the pandemic has in large part shuttered the travel industry.
