After taking a gamble on a hotel job (literally, it was at a casino), Josh Graham spent 10 years in hotel operations at branded and independent hotels in Washington, DC, before transitioning to hospitality technology at TravelClick. Over 13 years, he held a number of senior sales, marketing, and go-to-market roles, working with CRS, Business Intelligence, and e-commerce/digital marketing. In his final role, he served as Regional VP for their guest management/CRM product.
Following TravelClick’s acquisition by Amadeus in 2018, Josh joined Revenue Analytics in 2020 to help launch their RMS solution, N2Pricing. After roles at Salesforce in their Travel and Hospitality unit, and FLYR for Hospitality, Josh found his home at Cloudbeds. As Head of Market Development for North America, he drives market awareness and introduces Cloudbeds to new hotelier segments.
When not on the road, Josh lives in the DC suburbs and clings to the notion that he is still punk AF while always having antacids and ibuprofen handy to offset spicy food and working out. He enjoys live music and attempts to stay relevant by taking his kids to concerts, despite occasionally questionable musical choices.
