In this episode, hosts David Millili and Steve Carran sit down with Eoin Heavey, CEO and founder of Maitre, a modern operating system built specifically for independent hotels. With a unique background spanning both technology and hospitality, Eoin shares his journey—from growing up in Dublin and playing competitive tennis at UC Berkeley to working in consulting, hedge funds, and venture capital—before launching businesses that eventually led him into the world of hotels.

He discusses the inspiration behind Maitre and how it helps hotels streamline operations, improve team communication, and deliver exceptional guest service—all without the burden of legacy systems.

In this episode, you’ll learn about:

• Building a hospitality tech platform from the ground up
• The future of hotel operations and staffing challenges
• How better integrations and cloud-based tools reshape the hotel tech stack
• Entrepreneurial lessons from Green Park to Maitre
