Catriona Meehan helps companies navigate political complexity, shape regulation, and turn public affairs into a driver of business growth.<\/p>\n

Catriona leads Public Affairs at Omio, a leading travel tech company. She also serves as an Ambassador for the European Commission\u2019s #DiversityinTransport initiative, promoting more inclusive mobility systems and championing voices often missing from transport policy – especially women and underrepresented groups.<\/p>\n

She brings over 15 years of experience at the intersection of policy, communications, and reputation – often in fast-moving sectors like mobility, technology, AI and sustainability. Whether advising startups or working with global platforms, her focus is on making regulation work for innovation and ensuring new ideas reach the people they\u2019re meant to serve.<\/p>\n

In 2022, she founded Startingup PA, a boutique consultancy that supports high-growth companies looking to scale their influence and engage with policymakers in a meaningful way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":16611,"template":"","class_list":["post-16608","speakers","type-speakers","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"azienda":"Omio","email":"catriona.meehan@omio.com","ruolo":"Director of Public Affairs","bidir_speaker_event":"","social_linkedin":"https:\/\/linkedin.com\/in\/catrionameehan","ordinamento":"Meehan","modalita_partecipazione":"In presenza"},"yoast_head":"\nCatriona Meehan - BTO2026 | Be Travel Onlife<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bto.travel\/en\/speaker\/catriona-meehan\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Catriona Meehan - BTO2026 | Be Travel Onlife\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Catriona Meehan helps companies navigate political complexity, shape regulation, and turn public affairs into a driver of business growth.
