In this episode, Peter Renton interviews Jess Conroy, CEO and co‑founder of Roe, about the massive gap in financial infrastructure within the hospitality industry. Conroy explains how hotels still rely on manual, error‑prone processes to capture, reconcile, and track payments—from individual room bookings to multi‑million‑dollar events—leading to lost revenue and inefficiency. Roe’s AI‑first platform provides a real‑time financial core that automates both inflows and outflows, delivering a single source of truth for revenue visibility and aligning its transaction‑based model with hotel profitability, now managing over $1 billion in hotel transactions. The discussion also covers Roe’s go‑to‑market strategy in a franchise‑heavy market and the broader opportunity to modernize hotel finance.
