Airport Dimensions has named Daniel Tárrega as president, North America, as the company scales its presence in the region to build on the more than 30 lounges it operates in North American airports. Tárrega previously was senior vice president of partnerships, during which time he was instrumental in shaping the company’s footprint, notably spearheading the collaboration with JPMorganChase to deliver the Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club network. Tárrega joined Airport Dimensions in 2024.
Tárrega replaces Nancy Knipp, the former president of the division, who has taken on the newly created position of global executive advisory officer.
In his new role, Tárrega will lead operations, brand delivery, profitability and network growth across the lounge portfolio, while bringing new concepts to market. These include Sleepover, launching its first North American site this year, and Poppin, a compact lounge now being tested in Atlanta for time-pressed travelers seeking a premium, streamlined experience.
“Over the last year and a half, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with our strategic partnerships to help shape a network we can all be proud of,” Tárrega said. “I’m excited to now step into leading the broader North American team as we continue that journey together. What matters most to me is that, as we grow, we stay true to the quality, care, and attention to detail our guests and airport partners value so highly. We have some exciting things ahead, and I’m looking forward to working side by side with our airport and lounge partners to keep raising the bar for differentiated experiences.”
As global executive advisory officer, Knipp will focus on long-term growth initiatives, supporting the company’s ongoing success as a strategic partner to the CEO and the global leadership team. She will leverage her extensive experience and deep institutional knowledge to support growth in Latin America and advance global organizational development, with a strong focus on talent development and succession planning.
“I’m thrilled to take on this role and work closely with our CEO and global leadership team to shape the company’s future,” Knipp said. “I’ll be focused on growth initiatives in Latin America and championing the next generation of diverse leaders—two priorities that will define our next chapter. After nearly 13 years across the Americas, I’m energized to bring that experience to a global stage and confident that the ongoing growth of Airport Dimensions in North America will flourish under Daniel’s leadership.”
