Google Alum Joins OAG Aviation Board Amid Industry Transformation

OAG Aviation has announced the appointment of David Robles as a non-executive director. The former Google EMEA Travel Leader joins OAG at an exciting time in its evolution, following a strategic transformation supported by backing from Vitruvian Partners.

Founded nearly 100 years ago, OAG has become the essential intelligence partner for the global travel industry. Under CEO Filip Filipov, who was appointed in late 2025, OAG has combined proprietary data sets and AI-driven technology to provide customers with a definitive 'one-stop' airline supply and demand intelligence platform.

David Robles brings over two decades of leadership experience at the forefront of digital platforms, data ecosystems, and artificial intelligence. He spent 19 years at Google, where he architected and scaled the company's multi-vertical travel marketplace into an AI-driven ecosystem.

'OAG is at an inflection point,' said Filipov. 'We have the supply data heritage, the demand intelligence capability, and the investment to build something new for the travel industry.' Robles' perspective will be invaluable as OAG accelerates its journey in transforming the global travel industry.
