Rezdy Continues U.S. Expansion
Appoints industry leader Joe Robinson as Head of Channel Management
Raleigh, NC, USA & Sydney, Australia, Jan. 18, 2022 – Rezdy, the world’s leading online booking and distribution platform, is committed to the sustainable growth of the experience industry, for operators and resellers alike. As a world-leading online booking and distribution platform, they recognize the critical importance of strong technology solutions to pave the way towards recovery from the pandemic.
A key long-term goal for Rezdy has been providing an operator with a diverse network of revenue streams via the widest range of distribution channels and resellers. In a further statement of its commitment to delivering that goal to the industry globally, Rezdy proudly announces the appointment of Joe Robinson as Head of Channel Management.
Following the company’s recent capital raise, the channel management business has benefited from a substantial increase in investment already. Exciting and pioneering evolution of the product is due to market in 2022 and Joe’s unparalleled experience industry knowledge will help deliver these ever-improving solutions to the market. He has spent his career in the experience industry with most recent roles in reservation technology, as Chief Growth Officer at RocketRez, as well as an operator, including over 5 years at Big Bus.
“Joe brings an absolute passion for the experience industry alongside a wealth of knowledge, stemming back to his very first role as a tour guide. As a result, he has respect in the industry as both an operator and a technology provider. What’s more, he’s a leader, and combined with the investment we’re making in our product, I have great confidence about advancing our already world-leading reputation as a channel manager under his watch,” said Rezdy CEO Chris Atkin. “We’re building a fantastic team, very much in line with Rezdy’s values, in the immensely important North American market, with the addition of Susan DeBottis as Chief Growth Officer last year, previously Head of Tours & Activities for Marriott International.”
“I’ve admired Rezdy from afar over many years, respecting both the quality of their technology as well as the way they do business,” said Joe. “The opportunity to lead the channel management business, knowing it will play such a significant role in shaping the experience industry’s recovery from the pandemic & beyond was too good to refuse. I’m looking forward to pioneering solutions to making distribution easier for operators alongside the talent already within the team.”
Joe will be appearing, alongside Chris, Susan & the Rezdy team at the Arival experience industry conference in San Diego next month – they’d love to see you there!
