Strategy without the bloat. Execution without the theatre.

Travel Lab founder

Omar Rageh

Founder & Principal Advisor

With 15+ years leading commercial strategy and enterprise transformation across ANZ's travel ecosystem, I've seen what works—and what doesn't.

Before founding Travel Lab, I held senior strategy roles at Tier 1 airlines and led transformation programs worth over $200M. I've built pricing frameworks, redesigned partnership models, and delivered change programs that actually stuck.

Travel Lab exists because the industry needs advisors who understand the commercial reality, not just the theory. We don't do decks for decks' sake. We deliver outcomes.

We operate differently

Most consultancies over-engineer. They build frameworks that look impressive in slide decks but fall apart in execution. They staff projects with junior teams learning on your dollar.

Travel Lab is the opposite. We're lean, senior, and focused. Every engagement is scoped tightly, delivered fast, and built to drive measurable commercial impact.

"We don't do transformation theatre. We deliver transformation outcomes."

The ANZ travel ecosystem is unique

Global playbooks don't work here. The market is too concentrated, the regulatory environment too specific, and the competitive dynamics too nuanced.

Airlines, insurers, and travel brands need advisors who understand the local ecosystem—who've operated in it, built strategy in it, and delivered transformation in it.

That's where Travel Lab comes in. We bring the commercial sharpness of tier-one strategy consulting with the execution rigour of in-house operators—without the overhead, politics, or bloat.

How we work

01

Diagnose

We start by understanding your commercial reality—revenue models, market position, operational constraints, and strategic ambitions. No assumptions. No generic frameworks.

02

Design

We build tailored solutions grounded in ANZ travel dynamics—whether it's a pricing architecture, partnership model, or transformation roadmap. Everything is designed for execution, not presentation.

03

Align

We work directly with leadership and operational teams to ensure strategic alignment, capability readiness, and stakeholder buy-in. No surprises. No last-minute course corrections.

04

Execute

We deliver outcomes, not documents. Whether it's launching a new partnership, implementing a pricing model, or leading a transformation program, we stay embedded until it's done.
