Hotel network operator across Italy and Southeast Europe managing 200+ properties
BWH Hotels Italy & South-East Europe operates a cooperative-backed hotel network across 14+ countries, managing 170 Italian properties and 30+ additional locations. The tech stack is hospitality-conventional—Excel, Opera PMS, Office, Google Analytics—but active projects reveal infrastructure scaling work: spend analysis, supplier consolidation, BI tool development, and data alignment across subsidiaries. Hiring skews heavily toward operations (50+ roles) with junior-level bulk, suggesting growth-stage infrastructure maturity challenges rather than technology leadership.
