"we increased the revenue per day by +25% playing with room types"
Renaud Dion began his career in revenue management with Sofitel in San Francisco, followed by a pivotal role at Réside Étude in Paris, where he built the revenue management department from scratch. He later joined Adagio, a joint venture between Accor and Pierre Vacances, leading a larger team and managing more structured operations.
Seeking greater purpose, Renaud transitioned from corporate roles to entrepreneurship, relocating to Cambodia and successfully opening two restaurants.
His approach blends data-driven decision-making, segmentation, and operational empathy, which he credits as key to his business resilience, especially during crises like COVID. Renaud’s journey illustrates how revenue management principles can be adapted beyond hotels, emphasizing humility, listening, and continuous learning.
As he says, "Take things one by one," reflecting his thoughtful, step-by-step method to both career and business.
