About Di Davillas

G’day, As you can tell I am not from around here! I’ve been lucky enough to have seen the world and meet all sorts of hospitality experts in my 17 years with MICROS Systems Inc. Having worked many positions in the hotel industry and at MICROS has given me a unique view of the industry. After working at Fidelio GmBH as an Installer and Product Manager in the Australian Office, I packed my bags and headed to “the land of the free and the home of the brave” in 1999 to be part of the OPERA Development Group located in Naples, Florida. It soon became apparent that we needed to get the word out about OPERA and I was tasked to meet that objective. So in the last 9 years I have been fortunate enough to work with some of the best industry leaders both at MICROS and in our customer community whose efforts have driven OPERA to the success it has today. As a daughter of a Chef, hospitality is in my blood and I am excited to be involved in the evolution of the hospitality industry. It’s amazing over the last 15 years, how much hospitality technology has changed and MICROS has led the way. Remember, that MICROS was the first vendor to provide hotels with a thin client and enterprise model that most other players are still trying to achieve. MICROS’ longevity and success is directly linked to our continued dedication to our customers and to the industry. From being a benefactor of such ground-breaking industry initiatives like HTNG, to our sustained participation in HFTP events, it’s easy to see why I am still with MICROS. Participating in events like HITEC, IHMRS, the MICROS User Conference or Customers Conventions fuels my passion and commitment to MICROS and the hospitality industry. I look forward to sharing some of my thoughts and ideas with little humor and maybe some sports references. Cheers !
