RateGain Travel Technologies Limited, a global provider of SaaS solutions for travel and hospitality, announced the appointment of Peter Strebel as its new President to lead the Americas region.
Peter, a two-time CEO, in his last role, was the Chairman of Omni Hotels & Resorts, providing strategic counsel to the company before serving as the company’s former President, Chief Marketing Officer, and Senior Vice President of Sales, a statement said.
In between his time with Omni, Strebel served as Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for the Wyndham Hotel Group and was promoted to President of the company before returning to Omni. Strebel sits on the board of directors for the American Hotel and Lodging Association (AHLA), as well as the board of trustees for the Incarnation House in Dallas, Texas.
Peter will be replacing the outgoing President, Chinmai Sharma, who spent half a decade with RateGain, playing a key role in scaling its Americas business and providing overall strategic guidance for RateGain’s growth in the region.
Welcoming Peter to RateGain’s leadership team, Bhanu Chopra, Founder, and Managing Director of RateGain, said, “The next phase of RateGain’s growth requires a leadership team that can help us outsize the impact we are making on our industry, and I am quite certain that Peter will help in bringing that to RateGain. His experience in leading operations, sales, and marketing will be critical for us to drive more well-rounded growth as we aim for our next big goal.”
“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Chinmai for his leadership and belief in RateGain. The work he has done in scaling the business and identifying new business opportunities leaves the Americas team far better positioned for success,” added Bhanu.
Commenting on RateGain, Peter Strebel said, “I have built a career by continuously identifying new areas of investment and innovation to change the status quo, and I believe that RateGain is also trying to do the same for the hospitality industry. The opportunity to do that for over 100,000 hotels excites me about this opportunity.”
