Key Data Dashboard has appointed Queensland-based Stuart Stacy as vice president of Business Development for Asia-Pacific.
Stacy will lead the company’s growth strategy across APAC, with a focus on supporting destination marketing organisations (DMOs), government and enterprise partners through data-driven tourism and lodging insights.
Stacy brings over 25 years of global travel and tourism experience, with leadership roles spanning Australia, APAC, India, the US and EMEA. He also holds current board and advisory roles, including serving as Growth Advisor to Travel Intelligence Co., a strategic advisory firm for tourism and travel businesses in Australia.
Stacy spent more than eight years at Adara (acquired by RateGain Travel Technologies), a leading global travel data platform, where he progressed from VP Sales, Australia to Managing Director, APAC, and ultimately Chief Revenue Officer, helping lead the business through to acquisition. His earlier career includes leadership roles at Orbitz, where he built and scaled the Asia Pacific partner marketing business, as well as HotelClub and Cendant Corporation.
“Short-term rental data has historically been a blind spot in the tourism data stack – and that’s exactly what drew me to Key Data,” said Stuart Stacy. “The quality and transparency of the platform is exceptional and I’ve been blown away by the team’s depth of experience and product vision. I’m excited to bring this value to more partners across APAC – especially as destinations and enterprises seek forward-looking, credible data to inform smarter decisions, investment and policy.”
His appointment marks a strategic move by Key Data, a global leader in real-time short-term rental market intelligence, to capitalise on the growing demand for real-time market intelligence across the region’s evolving tourism landscape.
“We’re excited to welcome Stuart to the team,” said Jason Sprenkle, CEO of Key Data Dashboard. “His deep expertise across Asia-Pacific and proven success scaling global data businesses make him the ideal person to lead our next phase of growth in the region. We see enormous potential across ANZ and APAC and Stuart’s leadership will be key to helping us realise it.”
