Shozib Khan, Spire VP of Hotel and Owner Services recently spoke with our friend Josiah Mackenzie from the Hospitality Daily Podcast.
Shozib and his analytics team leverage data and technology to streamline hotel operations, giving teams more time to focus on what matters most—delivering exceptional care to guests and team members while driving value for owners. On this special 1000th episode of Hospitality Daily, he shares how his background in chemistry evolved into a passion for optimizing hotel processes through data and efficiency.
In the 1001st episode, Shozib dives deeper into his unconventional path—from chemistry student and shuttle driver to assistant general manager at 19 and eventually a leader in hospitality analytics. He reflects on pioneering revenue management in the early 2000s, the power of data-driven problem solving, and his belief that true innovation in hospitality comes from creative, human-centered solutions—not just technology. The episode offers valuable insights for hospitality leaders and aspiring professionals alike on enhancing guest experiences, solving operational challenges, and advancing careers.
