Guestline appoints chief technology officer
Guestline has appointed Andrew Metcalfe as chief technology officer as it unveils plans to double its UK-based development team.
Both moves come as Guestline expands further to support a ‘more diverse range of new clients’, including large hotel groups, universities, and a growing number of international hotels.
"Our business has grown tremendously over recent months and we are committed to investing in our team," said CEO Andrew Andrew McGregor.
"This is a positive step forward in our ambitions for future growth."
Under Metcalfe’s tenure, Guestline will introduce the new Guestline Labs initiative as it gears up for further international expansion and ‘an extensive investment programme for Guestline’s products and services’.
Previously, he headed up London-based engineering at OpenTable, in roles including head of search engineering and head of international engineering.
He joins Guestline from Ve Interactive, an e-commerce technology company where he was development director and most recently chief technology officer, overseeing teams in the UK, Spain, Romania and France.
