Travel, transformed.

From the start, Navan has had a singular mission: to make travel easy for every frequent traveller — and, in the process, transform travel and expense management as the world knows it.

Meet the innovators

In 2015, Navan co-founders Ariel Cohen and Ilan Twig, tired of fighting with hard-to-use legacy travel and expense tools — and dealing with the resulting collateral damage — created a new corporate travel solution. The tool enabled users to easily book, view, and manage their travel and expenses in a single platform. Relentlessly innovative, the pair combined AI, data science, and a seamless user experience to take the first steps on the path toward building what would become Navan.
