Candice D'Cruz, Vice President - Luxury Brands, Hilton

As Women Leading Travel expands its global reach as part of the Skift family, we are proud to continue amplifying the voices of the women shaping the future of travel across every region of the world.

In celebration of Asia’s Women Leading the Travel Transformation report, published by Skift, we’re spotlighting leaders whose vision and influence are driving meaningful change across the industry. Among them is Candice D’Cruz, Vice President - Luxury Brands at Hilton, whose leadership reflects both the scale and nuance required to guide global brands through growth and transformation.

Candice will also join us on stage at the Women Leading Travel Asia Global Leadership Exchange in Bangkok on April 28, 2026, where senior women executives from across the region will gather for an invitation-only forum focused on leadership at scale.

As we prepare for our inaugural Asia gathering, this conversation offers a closer look at Candice’s leadership journey — the decisions that shaped her path, the lessons learned along the way and her perspective on what it takes to lead at the highest levels in today’s travel landscape.
