In his new role as CMO at SevenRooms, Todd will continue his mission of helping business owners by empowering operators to create unforgettable hospitality experiences for guests while also leading the planning, development and execution of the platform’s marketing efforts.

He will also be responsible for ideating the strategies that will further cement SevenRooms’ as the leading guest experience and retention platform across new and existing markets.

“Over the past year, I was able to get to know Joel and the SevenRooms team and see the differences they are making across the hospitality industry through data and insights,” Todd says.

“It’s been an exciting time with SevenRooms launching in Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong in recent years.

“These are key growth markets for us, so I’m humbled to be able to work with our team and customers in the region.
