With more than 10 years in the Travel & Hospitality space, Meet Jackie Jomieuce, Business Development Manager – Malaysia, STAAH.
Tell us a bit about your career in hospitality/ technology and the journey to STAAH
I started my career in the Hospitality industry as a Travel Consultant at one of the Tour Agents in my hometown, right after I finished my degree. I enjoy the most when I can make a customer’s day by doing more than they could expect. As I love to challenge myself, I stepped out of my comfort zone and joined Booking.com.
It was a smooth sail, and that’s when the pandemic happened, the rest is history.
I decided to pull my handbrake for a while, until one afternoon while I was casually browsing through the internet, I came across an interesting opportunity at STAAH. Clearly, as emerging trends and as technology has been widely used by accommodation providers, we all need to walk together, upgrade ourselves and get more tech-savvy. That’s when I decided to begin a new journey of technology innovations in the hospitality world.
What do you like most about STAAH and your job?
Apart from the fact that I don’t need to think of what dress I need to wear to the office the next day (Just kidding), at STAAH, no two days are ever the same – we all are moving at a great pace each day. I like being proactive and action orientated, using my research and analytical skills to achieve my goals.
I also like the reports in STAAH. It is simply amazing. In the highly competitive and fast-moving Hospitality space, obviously data and analytics play a key role, allowing businesses to identify the trends, which can be used to optimize your revenue management model. It’s a data-driven approach for pricing strategies, forecasting the demand and improvising your business performance. STAAH has the most advanced technology solutions for accommodation providers of all types, helping them articulate a successful distribution strategy and maximizing their online revenue.
Your success mantra?
“ Your only Limit is YOU “
Challenges can be our stepping stones toward leading a better life. Face the challenges with confidence, learn and grow, be a better version of yourself every day. Always remember to take something positive out of a negative situation.
Your interests outside STAAH. Do they help you do your job better?
Spending time with my family, that’s something I truly enjoy the most. We love family outings on weekends or holidays! We enjoy long drives with our sons and I am looking forward to bring them travelling abroad and let them see the world outside.
I see this as a blessing that I am able to do what I love – raising my sons at the same time working from home, chasing my career goals and living my passion every day. I love working as well as spending time with my family. And I believe I can do it all. Because I’m not just a mom. I’m a woman with a dream. After all, life is all about chasing your dreams and celebrating your success with your beloved ones.
