From luxury hotels to hospitality tech Francesco’s global journey
At Su, we take pride in the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our team. Each member brings something unique to the table, and this time, we’re excited to introduce Francesco, a Senior Business Developer whose dynamic career across continents and sectors has shaped his innovative approach to hospitality technology.
After more than 15 years in the hospitality world including a decade in magical Venice with top brands like Hilton and Accor, Francesco’s journey has been all about embracing new challenges and cultures. From leading sales and business development in luxury hotels to exploring the globe on cruise ships, he’s learned that adaptability and a passion for service are key.
Eventually, Francesco dropped anchor in Barcelona, where he pivoted into SaaS for hospitality, combining his industry expertise with cutting-edge technology. Joining Su a few months ago was a natural step after gaining experience in the online travel agents (OTAs) field with companies like eDreams. For Francesco, Su is where his love for hospitality meets his drive to innovate and help businesses grow in a fast-changing market.
Every chapter, from Venice’s canals to the digital frontiers of hospitality tech, has shaped his vision: to empower hotels with smarter solutions and a global perspective.
