“So if you’re deciding where to invest or who to partner with, these are the power builders. The people and companies to watch.” - Skift Editor-in-Chief Sarah Kopit and Head of Research Seth Borko.

Recently, our Executive Chairman and CEO Steve Singh was recognized in Skift’s Power Rankings! 💪

This year, Skift built their methodology around the builders constructing the infrastructure, platforms, products, experiences, brands, and business models that impact how travel works.

Under Steve’s leadership, we’re driving innovation with our cloud-based Travel-as-a-Service platform, connecting key industry players, and developing an agentic travel agent that predicts and serves traveler needs.

Thank you for recognizing Steve, Skift! See the full list here: https://skift.com/2026/09/16/power-rankings-2026/

Power in the travel industry now belongs to the builders. Those whose initiatives are ambitious, audacious, and — at the same time — gloriously useful. Here’s Skift’s 2026 list of the top 25 people doing that building.
