SevenRooms Continues Momentum with CFO
by David Klemt
In hiring Pamela Martinez as the company’s chief financial officer, SevenRooms continues their drive toward global expansion.
This crucial hire continues years of constant movement forward for SevenRooms.
It’s no secret that we’re fans of this powerful, tech-driven platform, in part due to their support of direct delivery.
A History of Growth
What do you do when your erratic schedule keeps you from scoring restaurant reservations? You create a tech-based, flexible reservation platform.
Okay, maybe that’s not what we’d all do. But that is the solution the co-founders of SevenRooms chose in 2011.
It would take just six years for investors to take notice of the company’s potential for growth.
SevenRooms counts Comcast Ventures, Alexa Fund (Amazon), and Providence Strategic Growth as investors. So confident in the platform’s growth is Providence Strategic Growth that their investment of millions of dollars took place in 2020.
High-profile clients include TAO Group, Bloomin’ Brands, Topgolf, Virgin Hotels, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Zuma, and LDV Hospitality. SevenRooms has been the system of record for all F&B venues across the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group’s portfolio.
Of course, SevenRooms serves independents of all sizes as well.
SevenRooms Hires CFO
Pamela Martinez is the first chief financial officer at SevenRooms. Her role is to accelerate the platform’s already impressive momentum and growth.
Martinez certainly has the experience to help further solidify SevenRooms’ status as one of the best guest experience platforms.
When she was at HubSpot, a marketing an CRM platform, the company grew from $75 million in annual recurring revenue to $1 billion in ARR.
“As SevenRooms continues to grow, I am thrilled to welcome Pamela to our team to help take us to the next level. Her proven track record helping to scale businesses and build out new financial structures made her the right choice for our company as we enter our next growth stage,” says Joel Montaniel, CEO and co-founder of SevenRooms.
Further growth will lead to more solutions and resources for SevenRooms clients. We’re eager to see how Martinez will help expand the platform and its capabilities.
“Despite the incredible challenges hospitality operators have faced over the past year, the industry has remained strong and I’ve been inspired by all SevenRooms has done to help its partners stay resilient,” says Martinez.
