He possesses a unique and priceless track record in the revenue management field, and many recognize him as a leader in this space. While Michael will support our strategy of working with revenue management departments of larger hotels and hotel groups, his contribution will surely go beyond merely serving Atomize and will also contribute to building constructive dialogues in the revenue management community as a whole,” says Alexander Edström, CEO at Atomize.
On assuming his new role, Michael McCartan says: “The possibilities unlocked by AI and cloud computing have brought us into a new era where the absolute best of human capabilities combined with the power and speed of sophisticated machines can create customer experiences we only dreamed of a few years ago. I´m utterly amazed by Atomize’s ability to develop a highly complex and sophisticated revenue intelligence algorithm and deliver it via an intuitive and user-friendly software solution. Atomize has understood what hoteliers and revenue managers need to operate in today’s and tomorrow’s hospitality landscape. I’m excited to be part of Atomize’s journey and support its continued global growth in the future.”

Over the last ten years, he held executive roles with well-known revenue management software providers. Most recently he operated as the Executive VP for RateGain where he worked on expanding their pricing optimization services across vertical industries, and from 2014 to 2019 he led RMS provider Duetto’s expansion across EMEA.
