Strategic Positioning

The Keith Pierce Connection

Keith Pierce personally recruited you as a Sonesta franchisee. As of April 1, 2026, Keith is Co-CEO of Sonesta International alongside Jeff Leer. Their joint mandate: "operational excellence" and "innovative technology."

What Sonesta corporate needs is a proof point. A franchise owner who has tested the intelligence against their own operation. Who can speak from experience, not theory.

You are uniquely positioned to be that proof point — and to benefit directly from being first. A franchise success story arriving in Q3 2026 — right after the FIFA window demonstrates the platform's value — positions Equinox Hospitality as the franchise partner who helped define Sonesta's technology future.
