Santa Rosa Beach, Fla., 16 June 2026 — Short-term rental analytics company KeyData has appointed Scott McLeod as President. McLeod has served as Chief Operating Officer since 2018, his appointment reflecting the company’s focus on leadership continuity as it expands its product offering and market reach.
During his more than eight years at KeyData, McLeod has led operations across customer success, product delivery, partnerships, and team development, giving him a broad view of how the business operates and where it creates value for customers.
His promotion follows the appointment of former President Dustin Downing as CEO earlier this year. The two will work closely together as KeyData grows its user base of professional property managers, destination marketing organizations, and enterprise partners across the US and internationally.
As President, McLeod will focus on customer relationships, product delivery, and investment in the team in the near term, with longer-term priorities centered on international expansion, strategic partnerships, and further product innovation.
Scott McLeod, President at KeyData, said: “KeyData has built something really special in the quality of the data and the team and the relationships we have with our customers. Having been part of this business for over eight years, I have a clear view of what we do well and where we can go further. My focus is on building on that foundation: supporting our customers as their businesses grow, continuing to develop our product, and helping the team do their best work. I’m looking forward to what comes next.”
Dustin Downing, CEO at KeyData, said: “Scott has been central to how KeyData has grown and operated over the past eight years. He understands the business, the customers, and the team in a way that takes years to build. Bringing him into the President role is a natural step, and I’m looking forward to working closely with him. Scott is uniquely positioned to accelerate our growth with property managers, deepen our most strategic accounts, and help us deliver on the next chapter for KeyData.”
The appointment comes as KeyData continues a period of active development. The company recently announced the launch of its Owner Acquisition Platform, a data-driven tool designed to help US vacation rental managers identify and win high-value properties more strategically.
