Ivan Peralta
London-based corporate accommodation platform AltoVita has appointed former TravelPerk executive Ivan Peralta as its chief technology officer.
The move comes after AltoVita recently secured $9.5 million in Series A investment and supports the company’s digital-first strategy within the corporate accommodation market. Peralta will head up the company’s technology function at AltoVita.
“Technology is the future of corporate accommodation, and we’ve seen a phenomenal uptake of smart solutions from travel management companies to corporate hospitality operators in the last 12 months alone,” said Peralta.
Peralta has worked in the corporate travel industry for more than 20 years, including his spell as VP of Engineering at TravelPerk.
AltoVita currently has a portfolio of more than one million properties across 165 countries and wants to grow this to 2.5 million properties by the end of 2023.
Vivi Cahyadi Himmel, CEO, and co-founder of AltoVita, added: “We’re thrilled to be entering the next phase of our transformational growth phase in technology.
“Working with travel scale-ups is in Ivan’s DNA, and his leadership will go a long way in helping us accelerate our ambition to make corporate accommodation the best it can be for enterprises and employees globally.”
