What happens when you put revenue and technology under one executive leader?

In this episode of Technovation, Peter High speaks with Drew Pinto, Executive Vice President and Chief Revenue and Technology Officer at Marriott International, a $26 billion hospitality leader approaching its 100-year anniversary.

Key highlights include:

Why Marriott merged revenue and IT under a single executive mandate
How disciplined capital allocation is shaping AI investments
The shift from “tech for tech’s sake” to measurable business impact
Why most “technology problems” are actually data problems
How a new product operating model is breaking down silos
