Our industry is stronger when every voz is heard.
As your candidate for President of GBTA, I believe in building an association that truly represents everyone. Where every member, whether a buyer, supplier, and stakeholder across the travel ecosystem feels welcomed, represented, and empowered.
No matter your role, company size, or region, your experience and perspective matter. They are essential to GBTA’s continued relevance, resilience, and evolution. My vision is to lead a more inclusive, collaborative, and future-focused GBTA—where our differences aren’t just acknowledged but leveraged as our greatest strength.
To bring this vision to life, I will focus on strengthening GBTA’s three foundational pillars:
Advocacy: We must remain a bold, unified voice championing the needs of business travelers, our industry, and our planet. I will uphold GBTA’s mission—and that of the GBTA Foundation—to put People First, Planet Always by advocating across regions, sectors, and policy arenas with transparency and strength.
Learning: Professional growth fuels industry growth. I will champion equitable access to meaningful education – through initiatives like Ladders, WINiT, benchmarking, and tailored learning; ensuring professionals at all levels and in all regions can grow with GBTA.
Comunidad: Our community is the heartbeat of the association. I will work with the Board to deepen connection across roles, generations, and geographies; fostering open dialogue, mutual respect, and genuine partnership that makes our advocacy and learning truly impactful.
I have worked hard for over a decade through various GBTA leadership roles to prepare me for this honor. Should you choose me as your President, I will also honor the work of those who came before me and set a firm foundation for those who will lead next. I am committed to fiscal responsibility, ethical leadership, and maximum transparency—because members deserve nothing less.
The future of business travel is ours to shape. Let’s lead it together—with purpose, passion, and unity.
