ABOUT CAROLYN KREMINS

Carolyn Kremins helps define how the global travel industry thinks, aligns, and competes. As President of Skift, she is leading the company’s evolution from a collection of media, events, and research businesses into a unified decision engine for travel’s most consequential leaders. Skift is the platform executives turn to when the stakes are high and the choices are complex, synthesizing proprietary journalism, sector intelligence, research frameworks, and live CEO dialogue into structured analysis leaders can act on. Under her leadership, Skift has expanded globally across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, building an integrated ecosystem spanning editorial intelligence, research, advisory, executive membership, and industry defining forums. Each component strengthens the others, creating a platform designed not just to report on the industry, but to inform its most important strategic decisions. On stage around the world, Carolyn interviews and moderates candid conversations with CEOs across hospitality, aviation, destinations, and experience platforms. These strategic dialogues surface how leaders are allocating capital, deploying technology, and redefining competitive advantage. Those insights feed directly back into Skift’s broader intelligence system. She also led the acquisition of Women Leading Travel, a curated executive membership community advancing influence and leadership at the highest levels of the industry. Beyond Skift, Carolyn serves on the board of the Exclusive Collective and advises boards and senior leadership teams on positioning, growth architecture, and the evolution of modern luxury and membership models. Earlier in her career, she launched and scaled iconic media brands including Maxim, The Week, Condé Nast Traveler, Brides, and Epicurious. Today her focus is building institutional infrastructure that strengthens how the global travel industry thinks, aligns, and competes.
