Maryles Casto

Born in the Philippines and living in the US for most of her life, Maryles V. Casto is a successful leader, investor, and entrepreneur.

From the beginning, Maryles loved travel and the benefits it provided. It connects people. It opens worlds. It creates new and novel experiences.

In 1974, Maryles took her passion for travel to the next level by founding what would become one of the largest, most respected, privately owned travel management companies in Silicon Valley. Drawing from her early experience as a manager of in-flight services for Philippine Airlines, Maryles founded Casto Travel, a different type of travel company. Casto Travel primarily provided corporate and leisure travel management, but she also had the insight and the courage to create business units that weren’t common in the industry. She focused on Silicon Valley before it was called Silicon Valley. Maryles created an in-house visa/passport team to better support the unique global travel needs of those in Silicon Valley, and delivered best in class service that went beyond expectations.
