Catherine Gallagher is a travel entrepreneur and community builder who founded Women Travel Leaders to close the gap she saw in peer support, mentorship, and genuine connection for women running businesses in the travel industry. She built Women Travel Leaders as a curated, values-driven community where purpose-driven owners and leaders can find trusted relationships, expert guidance, and strategic support. Catherine believes the travel industry is stronger when women at the top have access to a trusted circle year-round — not just at conferences. Her community has grown to 250+ members across regions, united by authenticity and a shared commitment to mutual growth. Under her leadership, Women Travel Leaders runs global retreats, regional meetups, mastermind programs, and expert-led virtual sessions.
