Bartomeu Gili Prohens

The industry expert

Bartomeu (Tomeu) Gili has worked in the bed bank and wholesale travel industry since 1998, including 24 years at Hotelbeds (HBX Group). Based in Europe for 11 years, managing Europe and Latin America at the same time, then 5 years in Singapore and 8 in Dubai, he brings real knowledge of every region and every function: commercial, both demand and supply, expansion, legal, tax, finance and IT.

Prior to founding RaceMyDesk, his last role at Hotelbeds was VP Commercial for Middle East, Africa & India, overseeing sourcing, hotel partnerships and sales across the region, while also carrying GM responsibility for the local legal entities. Starting in 1998, he progressed from building Bedsonline (HBX Group) into an Iberian market leader, to scaling Hotelbeds across Southern Europe and Latin America, before leading Middle East and Asia Pacific distribution from Singapore. He also served as GM at both Gowaii and RTS, and CCO at Destinations of the World.

The technology entrepreneur

Tomeu is not a consultant who talks about technology; he builds it. He cofounded and led Andromeda Nautical Solutions, a B2B SaaS platform for the nautical sector, managing a team of engineers, marketing and sales before successfully selling the company after four years.

Today he is the founder and CEO of RaceMyDesk, an enterprise AI platform that transforms how organisations handle email intelligence and workflow automation, deployed privately on company servers. Two ventures. Two products taken to market.

The consultant

For the past seven years, Tomeu has been regularly engaged as an expert consultant through leading expert network firms, advising corporate clients, private equity firms and strategy consultancies on the topics he knows best: travel distribution, commercial expansion, travel technology and AI adoption in tourism.
