Harry Sheta is a hospitality technology entrepreneur focused on helping hotels make faster, smarter revenue decisions. As Co-Founder of Hotel Switchboard and the driving force behind RevEVOLVE, he works closely with hoteliers, revenue managers, and management companies to modernize how pricing, forecasting, and portfolio insights are delivered.
With deep experience building data and BI platforms for the hotel industry, Harry has spent years observing a common challenge: revenue teams are overwhelmed with reports, dashboards, and disconnected tools, yet still struggle to act quickly when demand shifts. RevEVOLVE was built to solve that exact problem, by turning complex revenue data into clear signals, actionable insights, and decision-ready intelligence.
Harry has led the design and implementation of revenue intelligence solutions across independent hotels, multi-property portfolios, and revenue management consulting companies. His work spans PMS integrations, rate shopping intelligence, pickup and pace analysis, demand forecasting, and executive-level reporting, always with a focus on speed, clarity, and real-world usability.
As an author, Harry writes about practical revenue strategy, pricing discipline, AI-assisted decision making, and how hotels can compete more effectively in increasingly volatile markets. His perspective is shaped by hands-on work with revenue teams, not theory, focusing on what actually moves ADR, occupancy, and RevPAR.
Today, Harry collaborates with hotel owners, GMs, and revenue leaders across the U.S. and global markets, helping them replace reactive pricing with confident, signal-driven strategy through RevEVOLVE.

Hotel revenue management in 2026 is defined by three fundamental shifts: AI-powered demand forecasting now achieves accuracy rates exceeding 90%, standalone RM tools are consolidating into unified business intelligence platforms, and AI copilots are handling daily pricing decisions that once consumed hours of manual analysis. These shifts are reshaping how every hotel, RMC, and management […]
Los Angeles will host eight FIFA World Cup 2026 matches at SoFi Stadium, including the USA’s opening match against Paraguay on June 12 — the first match the host nation plays on home soil. Hotels within 15 miles of SoFi Stadium in Inglewood should expect ADR uplifts of +100–150% on opening night, with projected market […]
During FIFA World Cups, hotel booking windows compress dramatically — from a typical 60–90 day lead time down to 14–21 days for group stage matches, 5–10 days for quarterfinals, and as few as 3–5 days for semifinals and the final. This pattern has repeated across Russia 2018, Qatar 2022, and is already emerging in early […]

The Year You Stop Reacting and Start Leading I was reviewing year-end performance data with a 23-property management company last December when the owner said something that stuck with me: “We hit our revenue targets, but I have no idea if we’re actually getting better at what we do.” He wasn’t alone. Most hotel management […]
If you’re an RMC owner reading this in early January, you’re probably doing the same thing we’re seeing across the industry: setting ambitious revenue goals for 2026. And if you’re like most RMC owners we talk to, you’re thinking about something in the 30-50% growth range. Maybe you’re managing 20 hotel clients today and want […]
Introduction January is when World Cup mistakes begin. Budgets are locked. Owners start asking questions. Sales teams want clarity. Revenue teams feel pressure to “get something on the books.” And quietly, without realizing it, hotels start committing their most valuable inventory for FIFA World Cup 2026 far too early. It feels responsible. It looks productive. […]
Introduction When FIFA World Cup 2026 was announced, most hoteliers immediately focused on one thing: host cities. That’s natural. Matches bring fans. Fans bring demand. Demand brings pricing power. But history tells a more nuanced story. Across the last three FIFA World Cups, some of the strongest revenue performance didn’t come from hotels closest to […]
FIFA World Cup 2026 is not just another high-demand season. It’s a moving, city-hopping, emotion-driven event that will test how quickly hotels can think, react, and price with confidence. Most hoteliers are already looking at June and July on their calendars and asking the wrong question: How strong will this month be? That mindset alone […]
