Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Top 50 Women Leaders in Hospitality for 2024. The hospitality sector plays a vital role in the economy, encompassing food and beverage, travel and tourism, recreation and entertainment, and lodging. While women represent more than 50% of hospitality roles, less than a third hold leadership positions. This year's awardees have broken barriers, showcasing outstanding leadership and innovation across all facets of the industry.

This year's honorees include Noël Mika Bahamón, the first Chief Marketing Officer for Go Rentals. Bahamón has played a pivotal role in the company's exponential growth, successfully expanding to more than 250 private aviation locations nationwide.

We also honor Renee MacDonald, Vice President of Strategic and Venue Partnership Development of Encore Event Technologies US. MacDonald has a record-breaking performance track record, achieving double-digit year-over-year growth on an annual revenue and budget exceeding $1.5 billion.

Finally, we celebrate Lisa Checchio, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Wyndham Hotels and Resorts. Checchio leads revenue generation and commercial strategy for the world's largest hotel franchising company with nearly 9,200 hotels across 24 brands in approximately 95 countries.
