Duetto, the market leader in hotel profit optimization technology, has announced that it has appointed to Michael Schffner to head sales and service in the ÒDACHÓ region of German-speaking countries of Europe, which are Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
The announcement comes as Duetto further accelerates it growth throughout Europe, where its cloud-based revenue strategy solutions are already in place at more than 700 hotels in 20 countries.
ÒWe are happy to welcome Michael to Duetto,Ó said Duetto CEO Patrick Bosworth. ÒDuetto’s GameChanger application enables hotels to fully optimize revenue and manage distribution complexity, and our expanding suite of cloud-based solutions provides hotels with unprecedented tools for enhancing personalization and building loyalty in a rapidly-changing and highly competitive marketplace. We look forward to Michael’s contributions as we continue to help hotels worldwide achieve new levels of excellence in revenue strategy.Ó
Mr Schffner joins Duetto with more than 10 years of management experience in the hotel industry across Europe. He most recently served as Director of Sales and Marketing at Seranata Intraware and before that held several sales management positions at Nor1. He also held property management positions at distinctive hotels in Frankfurt and in the USA. Mr Schffner is active in industry associations and networking groups throughout Europe. He is a Lecturer at Ravensburg University of Cooperative Education, Ravensburg, Germany, from which he earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration.Ê
ÒI am pleased to join Duetto at this important and dynamic moment in the company’s growth,Ó said Mr Schffner. ÒFrom big brands to regional operating companies and smaller boutique properties, hotels in central Europe offer distinctive experiences in wonderful locations, but often lack the tools to optimize price and build loyalty among guests. I look forward to introducing the benefits of open pricing and revenue strategy to support their growth in the years ahead.Ó
