The legendary Jennifer Campbell and gorgeous sunset at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando – what a treat to speak at this event
On this International Women’s Day 2024, let’s shine a light on the extraordinary women shaping the landscape of luxury travel.
In my keynote on Luxury Leadership, I share that leaders set the standard, and true #luxury is about experiences, not things.
These luxury leaders know how to communicate, activate, and elevate everything.
They are strategic thinkers, admired by their peers, and valued by their teams.
In our Luxury Mindset Research study, we found that luxury helped leaders feel more #confident and, for some, even more powerful.
The surveyed leaders understood the importance of mentoring others and sharing experiences to develop those around them. These women demonstrate those qualities.
Lisa Holland of Sheltair epitomizes this ethos, steering her team towards unparalleled service and excellence with an authentic and transparent leadership style.
Jennifer Campbell, a force at Virtuoso Travel, demonstrates innovation with product development and designing world-class events that set the global standard.
