SiteMinder's distribution engine, the largest in the world, is now being built natively into Mews. Availability, rates, inventory and other content are now handled in one place: Mews Channel Manager, powered by SiteMinder. This closes the gap that hotels have had to bridge manually between two systems. Leah Rankin of SiteMinder joins Matt to talk about what this partnership changes for hoteliers, how hotels should think about their channel strategy, and where AI is taking distribution next.


At the time of recording, Leah Rankin was Chief Product Officer at SiteMinder, the world's leading hotel commerce platform, connecting over 53,000 hotels to more than 500 channels and processing 135 million reservations a year. She spent 25 years in product and tech across telco, travel and software before joining SiteMinder, where she led the customer teams before finding her way back into product.
