11:21Now PlayingThere are many different narratives around travel uncertainty and issues, stretching from TSA staffing to storms to the war in Iran and its impact on the airline industry. Many of them are false or at least as it relates to business travel. Navan's agentic-AI tools, which ease the customer experience and can deliver up to 15% median savings on travel budgets, should continue to disrupt legacy providers in the corporate-booking space -- as evidenced by the company turning free-cash-flow positive on the back of 4Q's 42% gross bookings volume growth.

Ariel Cohen is CEO at Navan. He discusses the data into the health of the corporate traveler.
