Ingunn Hofseth, President & CEO, HSMAI Europe
I am incredibly proud to formalise this strategic partnership with HSMAI. Having been involved with the organisation for more than 12 years, first as a global hotel operator, then through initiatives such as the Commercial Summer Camp and my time as Vice Chair of the HSMAI Europe Revenue Management Advisory Board, I have seen first-hand the immense value HSMAI brings to the hospitality industry. Its commitment to developing talent, elevating commercial disciplines, and driving industry collaboration is something I have always admired.
At TrustYou, we believe that guest intelligence is the foundation of modern hospitality. With our Customer Experience Platform, Customer Data Platform, and AI Agents, we bring together public and private guest knowledge to power real-time engagement throughout the whole journey. After a successful trial, we are excited to provide HSMAI and its community with this unified intelligence so that every organisation can understand what guests see, say, and feel at every moment.
In today’s hospitality environment, where guest sentiment and real-time feedback matter more than ever, this partnership is a natural fit. We are honoured to become HSMAI’s Data Insight Partner and to help elevate hotel performance across Europe through meaningful, guest-driven insights. Steven Dow, Chief Revenue Officer, TrustYou
