Moderna global travel manager was named Business Travel News' 2026 Travel Manager of the Year for her "Policy of One" managed travel program that leverages emerging online booking tool BizTrip.ai and data platform provider Cerebri.ai. But the design is her own, and it serves as a model for how travel programs—with the help of artificial intelligence—will realize long-envisioned cost rationalization and business travel personalization strategies. BTN also named three Best Practitioners that have a kind of shared DNA of partnering closely with their TMC and technology providers to push boundaries and provide new capabilities for themselves—and for the industry. This week, BTN will roll out their stories. Keep coming back. (Pictured left to right, Adobe's Kathy Burdge, Moderna's Jennifer Steinke, McDonald's Koreen Barbara and Google's Rob Bray)
