Klaus Kohlmayr, IDeaS, and Dave Roberts, Cornell University, School of Hotel Administration

Klaus Kohlamyr re-joined IDeaS Revenue Solutions as Chief Evangelist in 2017, after previously serving as Director of IDeaS Advantage Consulting in Singapore and then Senior Director, Consulting stateside. In between these two posts, Kohlamyr spent nearly four-years at TSA Solutions, where he served as Chief Commercial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and finally Head of Strategic Partnerships. Today, Kohlamyr is challenging the status quo by spreading the “good news” on innovative and rapidly advancing technology throughout the industry, and how this technology will identify the companies that will become leaders in the future. Dave Roberts is currently an Adjunct Professor at the Cornell School of Hotel Administration, the alma mater for both his Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in operations research. Between his early days of studying on the campus and returning to teach there, Roberts served as Finance Manager at American Airlines and spent 23 years at Marriott International, where he held several roles from Analyst to SVP of Global Revenue Management and SVP of Revenue Strategy and Solutions. After leaving Marriott, Roberts became a professor at the Pamplin College of Business at Virginia Tech.
