Leading experts in hospitality and IT.

Kadi has 15+ years of experience in the hotel industry. She has extensive experience in the front of the house, operations, and general management and she has always considered herself a tech-savvy and modern hotelier, who uses technology as a tool to improve the life of both- the staff and the guests.

On her free time you can most probably find Kadi working out at a nearby gym, or on the road between Tallinn and Riga. 

Hannes has been working with computers for almost as long as he can remember himself. In addition to being the founder of HotelBuddy, he is also a founder of an IT service company PRO IT, which services today more than 50+ hotels in the Baltic States. Through his work with the hotels he realized that there is a huge void of advanced guest-facing technologies on the market and after going through the hotels and pitching his idea, the first concept of HotelBuddy was created. On his time off Hannes likes to spend time with his family and keep himself active.
