United for Business

From advancing sustainability to social impact and beyond, your values come with you every time you fly United.?

Doreen Burse leads with strength, integrity, transparency, and resilience – and, for it, GBTA WINiT named her Outstanding Woman of the Year. With nearly four decades in the travel industry, Doreen has guided her teams with both resolve and compassion, landing her the top spot at WINiT’s annual awards gala. Beyond her day-to-day of leading the 500+ person worldwide sales team, Doreen champions those around her – especially women. She’s the executive sponsor of United’s Kinnect business resource group, a family-focused group dedicated to supporting caregivers; she’s an active member of uIMPACT, a business resource group dedicated to promoting diversity of talent and supporting women at United; and she volunteers as the business diversity ambassador of United’s Commercial team – ensuring United invests in a more diverse set of suppliers, including women-owned companies. Congratulations to Doreen – and all of this year’s WINiT Award winners!
