Hotel and rental technology supplier Operto Guest Technologies has a new CEO in Steven Davis.
The outgoing boss Michael Driedger is leaving to refocus on his original eco-friendly building company, Operto says.
Davis joins from Slalom Capital, a finance house that he ran and co-founded from October 2018.
Canada-based Operto builds smart technology for the accommodation sector, including hotels, vacation rentals and serviced apartments.
Products include keyless entry, energy-saving tools, noise and occupancy monitoring, workflow automation and control of other smart home devices.
Davis, who started his career with Apple in South Africa, says: "Operto is addressing and solving real-world problems for real people in the accommodation industry, and its rapid growth over the past two years speaks to this fact."
