AirDNA Announces Next Chapter of Growth with New CEO, Demi Horvat

AirDNA, a leading provider and pioneer of global short-term rental (STR) data solutions today announced the appointment of Demi Horvat as Chief Executive Officer in a further stage of expansion. 

Demi, who joined the company as Chief Operating Officer following the acquisition announcement by Alpine Investors earlier this year, will succeed founder Scott Shatford who is stepping up to join the Board as Director. In her role as COO, Demi proved to be an invaluable strategic counselor, leveraging her management expertise to accelerate development and bolster the engineering, product and research teams.

“In less than eight months, Demi’s achievements and dedication to providing value to our customers across multiple industries have left an impressive mark” said outgoing CEO Scott Shatford. “I trust there is no better leader for this next exciting chapter of growth, while I maintain my passion for supporting AirDNA’s long-term vision and strategy as Board Director.”

Expanding Leadership By Investing In Top-Tier Talent

With Alpine's PeopleFirst approach and community-focused strategy, AirDNA continues to invest in talent by rounding out its leadership team. The latest additions included new Vice President of Finance, Leah Fitz; Chief Product Officer, James Malcolm; and Senior Vice President of Sales, Alexa Churchman-Mountbatten. They join leaders like Jamie Lane, who became Vice President of the Research team in 2020; Vice President of Marketing Mariah Kamei; and Vice President of Engineering, Andy Pai, who have all guided their teams through the rapid growth of the last two years.

“AirDNA will continue to build an inclusive and supportive culture to ensure all team members have equal opportunities to thrive,” said AirDNA CEO, Demi Horvat. “I’m committed to elevating talent at all levels of the company and investing in personal and professional development. These initiatives and our inspiring senior leadership team will unlock our team’s full potential and expand our service offering.”

Since Scott Shatford founded the company in 2015, the core of AirDNA’s mission has always been providing the highest-quality data in the industry to spark innovation and transform analysis into action. With top-tier leadership and an extra emphasis on accuracy and people-driven growth, AirDNA is now expanding its ability to provide holistic solutions to the most complex challenges for everyone in the industry.
