Andrew Sanders Joins RoamingAround as COO
Hospitality veteran bringing expertise in sales, operations and mobility
BOSTON, MA - November 27, 2013 - RoamingAround announces that Andrew Sanders has joined the company as chief operating officer. Previously Sanders served as VP business development at OpenWays, developer of Mobile Key technology that enables hotel guests to bypass the front desk and optionally use their mobile devices as a room key. RoamingAround provides guest-engagement driven mobile solutions, such as Mobile Key by OpenWays, Mobile Apps, Mobile Offers and RoomBoost (which solves the problem of poor cellular coverage in areas of many hotels).
"Andrew brings a terrific amount of operational, strategic and sales experience to RoamingAround, and he knows the hotel technology space well, having held senior positions at central, front- and back-office solutions companies," said Michael Garvin, president and CEO of RoamingAround. "Couple his knowledge of mobile technology with RoamingAround's expertise, and we have a fortified management team that will help us maintain our huge growth of customers with our wide range of mobility solutions for hospitality."
Sanders brings more than two decades of hospitality technology experience to RoamingAround, including senior sales, business development and operational positions at MICROS, Adaco and Multi-Systems Inc. Sanders began his career in the field of hotel central-reservation systems at McDonnell Douglas Information Systems in the UK. He then relocated to the U.S. to lead business integration efforts following the acquisition of MCorp Inc., a New Jersey based property-management system company.
"I am delighted to join RoamingAround as it expands its solution offerings and continues to grow at a huge rate," Sanders said. "As the mobile experts for hotels and resorts, we will continue to focus on delivering integrated, best of breed solutions together with our own proprietary mobile solutions and services, and I look forward to being part of that mobile future."
