A front desk girl turned tech executive, Tanya unpacks how Oracle is collapsing decades of fragmented systems into one seamless guest experience, why cloud adoption exploded the moment hotels ran out of people, and what happened during an 18-hour outage at 3am that changed the entire trajectory of her career. The promise of hospitality has always been human. The technology is finally catching up. About the Guest:This week, Dan Ryan sits down with Tanya Pratt, Global VP of Strategy and Product Management at Oracle Hospitality, a self described nerdy science kid who accidentally fell in love with a front desk and never really left. Thirty years later, she's the one making sure the technology behind hospitality is finally as seamless as the experience is supposed to feel. Forged at Fairmont, recognized as one of the top 25 extraordinary minds in the industry, and fluent in both boardrooms and lobbies, Tanya isn't just building better software. She's keeping the promise. Chapters:00:35 Meet Tanya Pratt01:27 Hearing Your Own Story03:20 Hospitality Is a Promise04:44 Tech Removes Friction08:14 Unified Data at Check In12:29 Hospitality Tech 10116:08 One Guest One Profile19:18 ROI and Why Hotels Lag30:20 Tech Enables Hospitality31:36 Finding Your Calling33:13 Front Desk To VP34:56 Advice For 18 Year Olds36:01 Grit In Instant Age39:03 Human Skills Matter41:27 Untangling Tech Spaghetti45:11 Crucible Command Center56:22 Future Of Hospitality TechQuote of the Show:\"Hospitality is a promise.
