Rudi Winsberg BS ‘01 was born and raised in Lima, Peru and moved to New York City in 1991. It was there that he continued his education and professional growth in the Media Division of the United Nations for six years. After leaving the UN, he moved on to the private sector and worked in international licensing and sales. After more than two decades of traveling the globe for business, Rudi decided to follow his passion for learning about different cultures and chose to apply his various experiences to developing unique tours and travel experiences for American and European travelers.

In 2007 he co-founded Andean Origins, a boutique tour-operator based in Cusco, Peru. Currently, he heads Elite Sports Travel, a company focused on luxury travel to the most highly watched international sporting events, such as Formula 1 auto racing, FIFA World Cup, Olympic Games, Tennis Grand Slam Championships, among others. Whether it’s playing golf at 10,000 feet above sea level or crossing deserts, mountains and rainforests on a motorcycle, Rudi knows how to turn dream-trips into a reality.

Fluent in three languages, he brings joy to people from all over the world, while ensuring their safety and comfort no matter where they travel under his guidance. He is also an active member of the local business community in Peru, where he combines his travel-industry activities with volunteering in social development projects, mentoring young professionals, and consulting for companies in areas such as business development, strategic management and human resources.
