Naomi leads Travelport’s Go-to-Market, Marketing & Communications, and Commercial Operations making her responsible for the commercial engine that powers our growth, creating a connected, data-driven, and customer-focused organization.
Naomi is a highly experienced digital executive with more than 25 years in the digital industry and over two decades in senior leadership roles. A broad, commercially minded leader, she is known for turning strategy into action, building high-performing teams and making change happen. She brings energy and empathy to her leadership and is passionate about people, with a particular commitment to supporting and championing women in business.
Naomi spent six years on Skyscanner’s Executive Team, as Chief of Staff, VP Strategy & Operations and latterly VP Data, leading the company’s global data strategy and transformation. During her time there, she played a central role in shaping the company’s strategy, transformation, and post-pandemic recovery.
Previously, Naomi spent 11 years at Auto Trader, joining the Executive Team in 2014 and holding leadership roles across consumer and B2B marketing, commercial products, digital strategy, and digital advertising sales. Her experience spans building brands, developing digital products and propositions, and helping customers and organisations navigate significant industry change.
Across her career, Naomi has combined strategic thinking with a bias for action and an ability to work across functional boundaries. She believes great teams are built on alignment, energy, and a sense of fun - and that enjoying the work and the people you do it with matters.
Originally from Cornwall, Naomi moved to London to study Modern European Studies at UCL, including time in Paris and Madrid. A love of languages and lifelong passion for travel mean a career in travel feels like a natural fit.
Like many, Naomi strives to find the balance between a demanding career and family life - “with varying degrees of success.” When she’s not at work, she can usually be found chasing her family around south-west London, with a Cocker Spaniel and black Labrador in tow.
I love helping people to solve problems and achieve their goals.
Naomi Hahn, Chief Marketing & Commercial Operations Officer at Travelport
What’s your favourite travel destination in the world?
Thailand - I first visited in 2000 with Uni friends and got stuck on Koh Tao learning to dive and threatening not to come home, wanting to become a dive instructor (my parents had a few words to say about that!). We recently took our children on their first ’travelling’ holiday and they absolutely loved it, the culture, the scenery, the people, the elephants, the food! And for me, it felt like it was welcoming me back - the kids want to go again!
Beach or mountains?
I love both and feel very relaxed (exhausted) when we go to the mountains to ski - but if I had to I love being close to the sea, rain or shine.
Sunrise coffee or sunset cocktail?
I don’t drink coffee and love a cocktail. Although you’ll mostly find me drinking tea.
Fancy restaurant meal or homecooked comfort food?
Home-cooked meal, around the table with my kids, accompanied by lots of noisy conversation, inevitably arguments and followed up with a competitive game of cards!
Early adopter or gadget-challenged?
I’m definitely not gadget-challenged and love technology - I do like to research technology/gadgets thoroughly before I purchase (AI is fabulous for this) which can take me some time - so maybe a ‘fast-follower’. Although it did take me a while to surrender my blackberry for an iPhone!
If I wasn’t part of Travelport’s SLT, I’d be…
Doing a combination of hanging out with my family, walking the dogs, travelling the world and some kind of business / personal coaching - I love helping people to solve problems and achieve their goals.
