McGraw will address her remaining time as CEO at CVG International Airport and reflect on her career and what lies ahead for the airport.
McGraw was originally hired to the CVG team in 2009 as chief administrative officer. She took over as the airport’s CEO in 2011 and has more than 30 years of operational and legal expertise under her belt. McGraw has led CVG through many expansions, renovations and changes. Under her helm, the airport has become a center for e-commerce in the United States, serving as home to the Amazon Air Hub as well as DHL Express’ Global Super Hub for the Americas. She was also at the front lines helping CVG navigate a global pandemic.
McGraw has also served on numerous boards throughout her career, including chairing the World Governing Board of Airports Council International, the Women in Aviation Advisory Board, chairing the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber, serving on the Advisory Board for Fifth Third Bank, and more.
“As a globally-recognized leader in the airport industry who has expertly navigated all the changes to the travel landscape throughout her career, it is no surprise that the airport was recognized by Skytrax as the ‘Best Regional Airport in North America’ for eight years during her tenure,” said Brent Cooper, President and CEO of the NKY Chamber.

Often serving as the first impression for travelers to our region, Northern Kentucky’s charm and Southern hospitality is on full display upon landing at CVG. We’re excited to hear more about what the future holds for CVG and the Northern Kentucky region.”
