“This is a defining moment in our history.” Watch Jason Geall speak at the Business Travel Awards Europe

Amex GBT is enabling the travel industry to show its true value during a dynamic and challenging time, amid a surging demand for face-to-face meetings.

In these times of travel disruption, our Senior VP for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) Jason Geall has spoken passionately about “having travellers backs” – how getting people where they need to be quickly, safely and then home again is what motivates his team each day.

Opening the recent Business Travel Awards Europe in London, he highlighted the critical role of managed business travel; its value more evident than ever in driving trade, commerce and ultimately economic growth as the world emerges from a health pandemic amidst a cost-of-living crisis.

Addressing the audience of 1,000 industry colleagues, our SVP added that while the sector continues to face unrelenting challenges, business travel would continue to play this key role to connect people and build growth.

We were delighted to win Travel Team of the year (alongside our colleagues at Google) and Travel Partner of the Year for our Meetings and Events solution – accolades that champion the efforts of each and every one of our people involved.
