San
Francisco, CA – September 2013 / Hospitality 1ST / Duetto,
the only cloud-based technology firm focused on revenue management for
the hotel industry, announced the expansion of its Customer Success Team
to support the accelerating adoption of Duetto
Edge – an innovative product that is helping hotels increase revenues
by optimizing demand with new data sets while integrating previously unavailable
operational intelligence.
Duetto’s
Co-Founder and Chief Analytics Officer, Marco Benvenuti, said, “We are
pleased to further our commitment to a first-class experience for our customers
through our Customer Success team, which gives our customers free access
to Revenue Management experts who can help increase profitability. Duetto
is unique in offering exceptional depth, experience, and creativity, to
help customers achieve the highest and best use of Duetto products at no
additional cost.”
The
newly expanded Duetto Customer Success team includes:
-
Anuj
(AJ) Jenveja, a revenue management and customer satisfaction professional
who brings deep experience consulting on revenue management for properties
across the country, as well as with Caesars Entertainment Corporation in
Las Vegas.
-
Orie
Berezan, a twenty-year hospitality professional who has worked at Four
Seasons and brings a PhD from the Hotel Management School at the University
of Nevada-Las Vegas.
-
Gayle

Joie de Vivre and Tarsadia Hotels.
Benvenuti
concluded, “Led by these top professionals, our Customer Success team delivers
innovative solutions to the Revenue Management challenges and opportunities
hotels confront every day.” He concluded, “This kind of consultative service
typically costs hotels thousands of dollars per month. From day one, it’s
been clear that our mission is the success of our customers, and we are
committed to an all-inclusive cost model. With the rapid growth in the
community of Duetto users, we are glad to provide them with unparalleled
support, advice, and Revenue Management guidance from a team of leading
professionals.”
Duetto
is building momentum in the displacement of legacy on-premise or hosted
hotel revenue management systems utilizing Big Data to optimize demand
and provide operational intelligence for hotels. It has seen rapid adoption
of its flagship Duetto Edge product. Duetto
Insight, a product tailored specifically to the needs of select
service and independent hotels, was launched last Spring.
Duetto
was founded by Wynn executives, Marco Benvenuti and Patrick Bosworth, along
with former Salesforce.com Chief Technology Officer, Craig Weissman. The
Company uses Big Data to power Duetto Edge, which delivers better
insights on demand, improves pricing optimization, forecasting and hotel
operations. Early adopters include hotel brands and properties in the United
States, Europe and Asia.
