Navigating the future of travel with CEO Ariane Gorin
About this episode
Ariane Gorin discusses her leadership philosophy and the future of travel, drawing from her personal experiences and insights in the industry.
Travel demands resilience, and leadership in the travel industry requires even more. Ariane Gorin, Chief Executive Officer of Expedia Group, joins Elisabeth to share her personal journey, leadership philosophy, and perspectives on the future of travel. Ariane’s path was sparked by a formative childhood trip that ended with her sleeping in a car on the side of a road in Italy, an experience that inspired a career dedicated to making travel more seamless for others. Drawing on her experience, she discusses her perspective on change management and how maintaining authenticity under pressure — the kind that makes diamonds — is one of the most important things a leader can do. From navigating the upheaval that brought the world to a halt in 2020 to embracing technology and innovation, Ariane offers advice to inspire leaders and insights that will excite any travel lover.
