Description

In this episode of The Modern Hotelier, we sit down with Robert Grosz, President & COO of WorldVue, a nearly 50-year leader in hospitality technology solutions. Bob shares his journey from the Midwest to the forefront of real estate and tech, and how culture, quick decision-making, and loyalty have shaped his leadership style.

We dive into:

  • Why “culture eats strategy for breakfast” and how karaoke helped build stronger teams 
  • The evolution of WorldVue from looping movies on VHS to delivering cutting-edge cloud-based guest experiences
  • How mobile technology and personalization are transforming hospitality
  • Why technology should be part of hotel design conversations from day one

Robert's insights highlight not only where hospitality tech is today, but also where it’s headed. This is a fun, thoughtful conversation packed with leadership lessons, industry trends, and a few Neil Diamond references.
