Women Leading Travel & Hospitality is preparing a new report: “The Experience Advantage: Women Leaders Redefining Travel.” This special feature will highlight executive women who have spent 30+ years in the industry and continue to shape its future at the highest levels of leadership.

As women with decades of experience lead as executives, entrepreneurs, culture carriers and key decision-makers, it’s time to reframe how we define leadership in this stage of life and career. These are not leaders of the past — they are actively breaking barriers, challenging outdated assumptions and setting the pace for what comes next.

We’re looking for women in C-suite, SVP, EVP or equivalent roles who bring deep strategic clarity, operational expertise and a multigenerational perspective to their work. Their leadership is critical as the industry navigates demographic shifts, extended career trajectories and post-pandemic transformation.

This report will include:

  • Profiles of standout women leaders with 30+ years of experience
  • Insights into the value of age-diverse executive teams
  • Strategies for companies to better recognize, retain and elevate senior talent
  • Data showing why this demographic is key to innovation and long-term growth

If you know a leader who fits this description — or if that leader is you — we encourage you to submit a nomination.

Featured executives will be highlighted in our upcoming report.

Let’s give visibility to the women whose experience continues to drive our industry forward.

Submit a Nomination.
