Our guest today: Ela Mezhiborsky of Autohost.ai

Ela approached her latest venture, Autohost.ai, in much the same way as she approaches any challenge: with relentless focus, indomitable energy and a contagious bonhomie which belies the data-driven strategist and growth leader she truly is.

A passionate kitesurfer, photographer and part-time world explorer, Ela has been pushing the boundaries of the short-term rental industry for years. She is the COO and Co-Founder of Quickstay Property Management, a luxury property operator in Canada, at the same time as leading Product at Autohost.ai.

Born from her frustrations with the shortcomings of existing guest-screening technology, Autohost.ai is designed to automatically check for risky reservations (party organisers, bad payers...) and take the pain out of verifying that guests are actually who they say they are.

With her background as business analyst, strategist and growth expert, Ela prefers pragmatic, solutions-orientated services and it shows in her chat with Simon, full of useful tips and tricks for any property manager looking at understanding their guests better.
