Teresa Mackintosh is the Chief Executive Officer of Aven Hospitality, where she leads the company’s transformation to help hotels operate with greater clarity, performance, and confidence in an increasingly complex global market. Under her leadership, Aven is evolving into a connected, AI-enabled commerce platform designed to maximize revenue, expand global reach, and power the next era of intelligent hotel performance.
Her career has been shaped by leading and scaling enterprise SaaS organizations through major periods of transformation. She guided Trintech through accelerated global expansion, led Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting US, and held senior leadership roles at Thomson Reuters, overseeing multiple technology businesses. She also served as an Operating Partner at Blue Star Innovation Partners and as a board director across AI, SaaS, and hospitality companies; experience that grounds her approach to building resilient, innovative organizations.
Teresa leads with a disciplined philosophy, ensuring customers, employees, and investors remain in balance as the company scales. She pairs that decision framework with a high performance culture built on clarity, accountability, and speed, empowering teams to move quickly while staying deeply connected to customer needs. This combination allows her to drive technology modernization and industry innovation while delivering measurable value to hotel partners.
She joined Aven because she saw a pivotal moment for the industry: hotels need connected, intelligent systems that enable smarter decisions and exceptional guest experiences. Today, she is focused on scaling the company’s next phase of growth by reducing fragmentation across the ecosystem, strengthening the platform’s intelligence layer, and expanding the capabilities that help hotel companies operate with greater clarity and confidence.
