Jeff Hayward
Senior Vice President, Airline Solutions Product Development
Jeff Hayward is senior vice president of Airline Solutions Product Development. He joined Sabre in 2018 with more than 25 years of technology, consulting and leadership experience. He has built a reputation as a visionary and has a history of developing technology enabled solutions that solve customers’ business challenges. In addition to holding leadership positions at Dell EMC, VCE, Unisys, and KPMG Consulting, Jeff has been based globally and is no stranger to a 24/7 service model.
Before joining Sabre, Jeff’s responsibilities were centered around VCE (virtual computing environment), of which he was one of the founding members. Originally started as a coalition among three technology powerhouses, Cisco, EMC and VMWare, VCE has evolved and is now part of Dell EMC, a subsidiary of Dell Technologies. Jeff’s contributions of technical architecture, software development, strategy and customer engagement will serve him well in his new role.
Behind the scenes, Jeff is an avid triathlete and has completed over 12 Ironman events, including three 140.6 races in one year. He believes the sport enables him to bring sharper focus and energy into business and all facets of his life. When he is not swimming, biking or running, Jeff enjoys spending quality time with his wife and their four children.
