Women make up almost half of the U.S. workforce, but they hold less than one-third of the leadership positions in technology. However, companies that are able to expand the roster of women tech leaders witness impactful benefits. For example, companies where 30 percent of their leadership team are women boast a 15 percent increase in profitability (a net profit margin that’s more than 1 percentage point higher) compared with similar companies with no female leaders, according to research from the Peterson Institute for International Economics.

With that context in mind, Women Leading Travel & Hospitality wants to champion the incredible women leaders in this industry, particularly in the tech sector, and learn from one another along the way so we can change those stats. I’m excited to announce our latest report, Women in Travel Tech: Innovators Leading Us Into the Future. This report highlights the decision makers at the forefront of a rapidly changing time for our industry. The honorees featured in this report were nominated by their peers and vetted by the Women Leading Travel & Hospitality editorial team. The women tech leaders featured in this report share their career journeys, plans for the future, and lessons learned while working to incorporate and navigate a variety of technology systems and solutions that all women in travel and hospitality can relate to and benefit from. 

Insights shared in this report include our honorees’ choices for the emerging technologies that will have the biggest impact on the industry in the next 12 months; how technology budgets are shifting heading into 2022; how companies are developing a pipeline of future women tech talent; and so much more! Download this report as a resource to help move your career forward, discover how women leaders overcame obstacles and took risks to achieve their goals, and learn how implementing technology systems at their organizations have solved internal and external pain points.

Lastly, we’re excited to hear more from some of our honorees at Women Leading Travel & Hospitality’s upcoming Virtual Exchange. Register today for this event, which is being rescheduled. We will communicate the new date as soon as it is confirmed.
