## Meeting with Andrew
|
||||
|
||||
- General direction. 2024 company goals. What's the philosophy? Growth? Quality?
|
||||
- 3 main goal lines
|
||||
- Make current operations work properly now that we have resources (backfill). Andrew's opinion is they where understaffed for long and that explains why things are not working out smoothly.
|
||||
- Grow
|
||||
- Through direct selling (business as usual)
|
||||
- Integration with PMSs to white-label the solution and turn them into sales funnels
|
||||
- Crazy R&D ideas, mostly around Guest-centric services
|
||||
- How do you envision my team, who do I report to?
|
||||
- Data is not a squad, it's cross functions
|
||||
- Serves both Ben C and Matt, but with different styles
|
||||
- We rely a lot on engineering and Ben R, so we need to tag along nicely and they need to keep us in mind.
|
||||

||||
|
||||
Elaine leaves mid february.
|
||||
Amanda joining and taking care of the financial processes and bookkeeping until a finance director joins in.
|
||||
|
||||
End of march is end of financial year. Next year books will be on Iplicity.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Actions
|
||||
- Andrew is very concerned about the invoicing process and the choice of accounting tool and now I understand why. If any of those two, are not worked out properly, they will lead to a very nasty situation. I need to judge my role in those fast and get evereyone aligned.

Stuff we couldn't go through, let's discuss next meeting:
|
||||
|
||||
- Is the P&L somehow decentralized?
|
||||
- How do you and Humphrey split responsibilities?
|
||||
- Things I've liked so far

- Backlog
|
||||
- Building out our infrastructure as well as working on hot things. Balance between immediate stuff and building for the future
|
||||
- Is there something that concerns you? Anything you are scared of? Any issue that keeps you up at night?

|

- I'll be eager to grab a lunch or to hear more about both you and Humphrey. I care about the plans at the top, it's one of the main reasons I'm here and not at a big corp

## Meeting with Clay
|
||||
|
||||
Onboarding and PMSs
|
||||
|
||||
- Every host gets manual onboarding. This is a pain point
|
||||
-
|
||||
- Goals:
|
||||
- Hopefully we get it fully automated. 100%.
|
||||
-
|
||||
- Fully takes care of PMS integrations
|
||||
|
||||
Around 27 integrations currently
|
||||
Most importants: Guesty, Rentals United, Hostfully, Lodgify, Hostaway
|
||||
PMCs
|
||||
|
||||
Tradeoff between building on PMS that have a lot of clients, and PMSs that have a lot of clients with Superhog
|
||||
|
||||
Functions of a PMS:
|
||||
- Shared calendar for listings across all channels
|
||||
- Integrated revenue
|
||||
- Integrated communications between customer service and clients
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Meeting with Alex A. and Lianne
|
||||
Payment step: screening, waiver, damage protection plan
|
||||
|
||||
ALL BOOKINGS GET A SCREENING, NO MATTER WHAT SERVICES THE PMC HAS HIRED WITH US
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Who's your tech lead? Kareem, Egypt team. Good vibes.
|
||||
How do you feel about your engineering team? All good, no complaints.
|
||||
|
||||
Documentation or videos? Would be good for you?

## Data Page
|
||||
|
||||
## Meeting with Alex Anderson
|
||||
|
||||
- Overview of your scope
|
||||
- Current systems and processes being used
|
||||
- Could you get me access to check them out?
|
||||
- Reports/Spreadsheets/PBIs/?
|
||||
- Current pain points
|
||||
|
||||
- Can you somehow give me access to Hubspot? No touchy touchy
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Data HQ
|
||||
|
||||
- Landing
|
||||
- What's this team
|
||||
- Who is in it
|
||||
- What we do and what we don't
|
||||
- How to get in touch
|
||||
- Data Index
|
||||
- Data Catalog
|
||||
- What exists, who owns it, where to learn more
|
||||
- Data Products
|
||||
- What exists, what is it good for, how to request access
|
||||
- Newsletter
|
||||
- Bi-weekly updates on new stuff built by the data team
|
||||
|
||||
- Notion or Confluence? Does everyone have access to both? Discuss with Robinson
|
||||
|
||||
Existing Data Products
|
||||
- Global KPIs Spreadsheet
|
||||
- PowerBI
|
||||
|
||||
My proposal on first fronts, domain wise:
|
||||
- Product: dedicated analyst to dance together with the team running adhoc analysis on new product ideas
|
||||
- Stable reporting for operational teams and processes with the goal of helping Matt, Leo and their managers:
|
||||
- Sales
|
||||
- Account Management
|
||||
- CS Interactions
|
||||
- Resolutions
|
||||
- Finance
|
||||
- Solve invoicing nightmare, at least partially
|
||||
- Business Management
|
||||
- High level operational and financial measures. Revenue, user acquisition/churn/activation, # of bookings processed,
|
||||
|
||||
- Pitfalls to avoid
|
||||
- Data as a shadow IT
|
||||
- Unrealistic prioritization. Not all questions deserve to be answered
|
||||
- Overly strict centralization in Data team: if someone owns the data, has the data, and knows what to do with the data, the Data team is there to review but doesn't need to act
|
||||
- Spaguetti architecture
|
||||
|
||||
My proposal on first fronts, deliverables wise:
|
||||
- Data catalog with the most important databases, ownership, docs, etc.
|
||||
- Take control of existing reporting
|
||||
|
||||
My proposal on first fronts, team wise:
|
||||
- Get another data engineer and two data analysts in place. Senior people that know what they are doing, not the right place and time to develop junior guys
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
- Hiring:
|
||||
- [ ] Write job descriptions for the roles I would like to have
|
||||
- [ ] My proposal on interview processes
|
||||
- [ ] Technical tests / Cases
|
