Greg O'Hara named new WTTC Chairman to drive sustainable travel growth
The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) has named Greg O’Hara as its new Chairman. He will take over the role later this month, succeeding Arnold Donald. The leadership change aims to guide the global travel sector toward a more sustainable future. O’Hara currently serves as Founder and Senior Managing Director of Certares Management LLC. Before this, he worked as Chief Investment Officer at JPMorgan Chase’s Special Investments Group. He also holds positions as Chairman of American Express Global Business Travel and as a Board Member of TripAdvisor.
He has been part of WTTC’s Executive Committee since 2019 and became Vice Chair in 2021. His appointment follows Arnold Donald’s tenure, who reflected on his time in the role and expressed confidence in O’Hara’s ability to lead.
WTTC President & CEO Julia Simpson thanked Donald for his contributions and welcomed O’Hara as the new Chairman. Under the fresh leadership, the organisation and its members plan to focus on sustainability and growth within the travel industry. The transition marks a new phase for WTTC as it works to shape the future of travel and tourism. O’Hara’s experience in investment and travel-related businesses positions him to lead the council’s next steps. His term officially begins later this month.
