Nearly three months after acquiring hotel benchmarking platform HotStats, the board of directors of hospitality revenue-management software company Duetto has appointed Alex Zoghlin the company’s new CEO.
Former CEO David Woolenberg is stepping down after six years in the role, and will remain with the company during what is being called “a transitional period” to “ensure continuity and support a seamless handover.” In a statement, the board of directors extended “its sincere gratitude” to Woolenberg for his “significant contributions in advancing Duetto’s culture, operational performance and long-term strategic vision. Under [Woolenberg]’s leadership, Duetto scaled its business meaningfully, broadened its geographic footprint, introduced new products and solutions, and expanded the range of clients it serves.”
“Serving as CEO of Duetto has been an incredible experience, and I am proud of the strong business we have built — one that is well-positioned for continued growth and innovation,” Woolenberg said in a statement. “After six years, it feels like the right time for change, and I cannot think of a better person to take Duetto forward than Alex. His experience, leadership, and deep understanding of our space make him the ideal choice to guide the company into its next chapter.”
The New CEO
Zoghlin, a current Duetto board member and most recently the CEO of ATPCO, previously was the global head of innovation and technology at Hyatt Hotels Corporation. He was also the founder and CTO of Orbitz.
“I am honored to serve as the next CEO of this exceptional company and work with our talented teams globally to deliver differentiated revenue management solutions to the hospitality industry,” Zoghlin said. “The hospitality industry is undergoing a period of rapid transformation, driven by shifting guest expectations, increased operational costs, and economic volatility. Hoteliers need more innovative, more robust, and more effective technology solutions to meet their needs. With a powerful product vision, deep customer relationships, and a renewed brand strategy, I’m confident in our ability to guide hoteliers through this evolution and unlock the next phase of growth for the company.”
This announcement follows last week’s launch of Duetto’s Revenue & Profit Operating System that aims to unify data, automation and intelligence across all facets of hotel revenue and profit performance.
