Max Spangler has been appointed as Vice President of Technology at Charlestowne Hotels
Leading hospitality management company Charlestowne Hotels announces the promotion of Maxwell Spangler to Vice President of Technology. During his 10-year tenure at Charlestowne, Spangler has overseen the strategic growth of the company's evolving tech stack and road map, developing and deploying new software and systems, and identifying continued opportunities for innovation.
As a respected industry expert, Spangler leads on implementing cutting-edge tech tools across Charlestowne's portfolio of 40+ properties. He ensures Charlestowne's in-house team and on-site property managers are nimble enough to embrace emerging tech trends and also fully understand best practices surrounding key industry topics, such as information security and data integrity.
Most notably, Spangler helped Charlestowne adapt during the pandemic to ensure long-term resilience as the hospitality industry shifted to technologies that enhanced safety, improved operational efficiency, and reimagined how to attract and serve guests.
Spangler has a strong background in hotel operations and systems programming, having spent the early part of his career working in front-of-house and corporate positions within the Charlestowne Hotels portfolio. Some of his key achievements include obtaining optimum performance in financial reporting and strategic capital planning for a range of independent properties and designing and deploying new software—like the Groupify hospitality application—which Charlestowne used to manage and increase profitability for group business. Spangler's new role enables him to join other VPs in lending strategy and building out more tools to support Charlestowne's continued growth.
