Ireckonu Changed The Game: US Expansion with a New Visionary Leader – Travel And Tour World

Ireckonu, a leading provider of middleware and Customer Data Platform (CDP) solutions, is reinforcing its position in the United States with an ambitious expansion strategy. The announcement comes after a successful expansion into the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, with the opening of a regional office in Singapore earlier this year. The company’s latest move into the Americas strengthens its global reach, underscoring Ireckonu’s commitment to providing localized support and driving growth in key international markets.

Founded in Amsterdam, Ireckonu has become a prominent player in the hospitality technology sector, offering middleware and CDP solutions that enable hotel brands to unify their data, enhance customer engagement, and streamline operations. The company’s mission to support clients locally while accelerating growth in strategic markets continues to gain momentum, and the US represents a key milestone in this ongoing journey.

A Bold US Expansion to Fuel Hospitality Tech Innovation

The US market is one of the largest and most competitive for hospitality technology, and Ireckonu’s expanded presence is set to enhance its capabilities and meet the growing demand for integrated, data-driven solutions in the region. Ireckonu’s US-based operations are now fully aligned with its global service model, offering tailored, responsive support to US hospitality businesses. This localized approach ensures that Ireckonu can respond quickly to client needs, adapt to market demands, and deliver innovative solutions that drive operational success and improve guest experiences.

In a statement, Jan Jaap van Roon, CEO of Ireckonu, explained the significance of the US expansion: “Our expansion in the Americas is part of our broader commitment to be truly present for our clients—wherever they are. By establishing and empowering a local team, we ensure that we can provide more tailored, responsive support and deepen relationships with our customers in the region.”

With its new US operations, Ireckonu is enhancing its ability to offer comprehensive solutions that address the specific needs of US-based hotels. This expansion will also allow Ireckonu to foster stronger relationships with industry leaders and drive innovation in the hospitality technology space.

Leadership at the Helm: Robert Dawson to Lead Strategic Growth in the US

His expertise in revenue management, digital marketing strategy, and global team leadership positions him perfectly to guide Ireckonu’s growth in the Americas.
