Meet Klaus Kohlmayr: pricing and revenue management expertInterview

We had the chance to catch up with another guest speaker who will be joining us at Unfold next week! Klaus Kohlmayr is the Chief Evangelist and Development officer at IDeaS. He has been challenging the status quo on pricing and revenue management for the last 20+ years. His areas of expertise include thought leadership, technology partnerships, strategy, and innovation, giving us a variety of topics to discuss. Let’s start with your long-running hospitality journey. I’ve been in hospitality since I was 15 when I started attending hotel school and learning the art of hospitality. I worked in many hotels and moved through most hotel departments, eventually reaching revenue management. The reason I love hospitality is the people and the opportunity it’s provided me to travel the world. IDeaS is driven by service and hospitality attitude. So even though I’m working for a software company, we still pride ourselves on being people-first and valuing our clients. What do you think the new stan

UNFOLD INTERVIEW: the new standard of serviced apartmentsInterview

We speak to Naomi Heaton, CEO and Founder at The Other House, London Central Portfolio (LCP) ahead of her panel session that will cover creating remarkable brand experiences. Growing her business from a one-woman show to a team managing assets worth over a billion pounds, Naomi has an encyclopedic knowledge of real-estate investment, acquisition, refurbishing and interior design. When it comes to the new standard in hospitality, she knows how to create a cohesive and engaging brand experience. Give our readers a quick introduction to who you are and why you love hospitality. After building my career as a director at the advertising agency Saatchi & Saatchi, I imagined I was destined for a life in advertising. Little did I know that buying my first home in London’s Camden Town would later transform into not one, but two successful businesses. With a love and keen eye for interiors, I started my own business of buying, renovating and selling properties in central London. This developed i

Meet Stuart W.Greif, Executive VP at Forbes Travel GuideInterview

As part of the line up of industry luminaries sharing their insights with us at Unfold this year is Stuart W. Greif, Executive Vice President, Chief Strategy, Innovation & Operating Officer at Forbes Travel Guide. Formerly, he was Microsoft’s Senior Executive for Hospitality and Travel, and led J.D. Power’s Global Hospitality and Travel group. Greif also worked for a unicorn startup Amperity, backed by early investors in Facebook, LinkedIn and Amazon. Now that you’ve met the maestro, let’s ask him some challenging questions. Why do you love the hospitality industry? Back when I launched my career, I was living in hotels five to six days per week for months on end and spent a lot of time with the hotel staff. It’s something that always resonated with me on a profound level – in terms of having empathy and experiencing kindness in a hotel and within a travel context of new experiences and people. That's what I find wonderful about creating memories and experiences, be it for business, tr

UNFOLD INTERVIEW: What the Mews founder & CEO have to sayInterview

UNFOLD: Ahead of Mews Unfold 2023, our CEO, Matt Welle and Founder, Richard Valtr, explore the latest challenges and changes to hospitality. What is the new standard in hospitality? What would you like to see challenged and why? Matt: Today, there is such a huge opportunity for hoteliers to truly explore and rethink the way they want to appeal to a diverse and eclectic guest. In the past, many hotels have opened without a real sense or thought about what it’s niche can be, and not really thinking beyond a bed in a room. The modern-day guest is expectant of so much more. A great example of this is the ‘business’ traveler. Traditionally, the choice for the business traveler was all about one thing, the location! But, increasingly business travel isn’t tied to a specific location, but moreover a great place to work and experience a new place. I often find myself in hotels thinking: I don't want to sit in that lobby. That space isn't built for me to co-work, and the coffee is bad, so I end
