Nick Ashton
Global Airline Lead
Nick’s background has primarily been with airlines, covering 15 years at British Airways, Qatar Airways, Virgin Australia and Vueling, mainly in Alliances functions. He then moved into the world of #traveltech with Dohop, where he focused on leveraging technology to improve airline partnerships and the customer experience.
He is passionate about developing airline retailing, the curated offer, connectivity and intermodality. At Vueling and Dohop, Nick lead IATA's Intermodal working group and has lectured on the subject at Coventry and Cranfield University. He has contributed thought leadership pieces to academic books and is regularly invited to speak at industry events.
Nick is a bit of an #avgeek / #traingeek, passions he shares with his 4 children, but his first love is cricket which he plays, coaches and watches avidly. Liverpool also compete for his affection, and he is a keen cyclist and runner. If you catch him on any of these subjects, be prepared for long, in-depth conversations.
