Vincent Ramelli
Vincent Ramelli is a seasoned leader in the hospitality-tech space, currently serving as CEO of LodgIQ, a cutting-edge AI-enabled revenue management company dedicated to driving optimized revenue and strategic insights for hotels worldwide. He was appointed to this position on February 4, 2025, bringing a bold vision and deep digital expertise to spearhead the company's global expansion. Before LodgIQ, Ramelli was the founder and CEO of WIHP (World Independent Hotels Promotion), a pioneering digital marketing agency launched around 1999, where he built what became the largest metasearch advertising management platform in the hotel industry. Under his guidance, WIHP powered campaigns across major metasearch engines like Google, Kayak, Trivago, Bing, and Tripadvisor, serving over 11,000 hotels across 120 countries and driving a sharp rise in direct bookings. In August 2023, WIHP was strategically acquired by Cendyn, where Ramelli transitioned to the role of Senior VP for e-commerce business development. Ramelli's roots in hospitality trace back even further—he was the co‑founder and owner of two boutique hotels in Paris (including the Hotel Taylor), operating them from roughly 2004 to 2010, an experience that enriched his understanding of hotel operations and marketing. With over 25 years in hospitality and more than two decades in digital marketing, Vincent brings a rare blend of hands-on hotelier experience and advanced tech-driven revenue strategy. At LodgIQ, he leads a team of data scientists and engineers developing AI analytics tools—such as Market IQ, Forecast IQ, and Group IQ—to empower hoteliers with actionable insights.
