Short-term rental analytics company, KeyData, has appointed Scott McLeod as the company’s new President.
Scott has served as the company’s Chief Operating Officer since 2018. His appointment reflects the company’s focus on strong leadership continuity as it expands its product offering and market reach.
During his time at KeyData, Scott has led operations across customer success, product delivery, partnerships and team development, giving him a wide view of how the business operates and where it creates value for customers.
His promotion follows a leadership transition in the appointment of former President Dustin Downing as CEO earlier this year further to Jason Sprenkle’s retirement at the end of May. The two are set to work closely together as KeyData grows its user base of professional property managers, destination marketing organisations, and enterprise partners across the US and internationally.
“KeyData has built something really special in the quality of the data and the team and the relationships we have with our customers. Having been part of this business for over eight years, I have a clear view of what we do well and where we can go further.
“My focus is on building on that foundation – supporting our customers as their businesses grow, continuing to develop our product, and helping the team do their best work. I’m looking forward to what comes next.”

In his new position as President, Scott will focus on customer relationships, product delivery, and investment in the team in the near term, with longer-term priorities centred on international expansion, strategic partnerships and further product innovation.
“Scott has been central to how KeyData has grown and operated over the past eight years. He understands the business, the customers, and the team in a way that takes years to build.
“Bringing him into the President role is a natural step, and I’m looking forward to working closely with him.
“Scott is uniquely positioned to accelerate our growth with property managers, deepen our most strategic accounts, and help us deliver on the next chapter for KeyData.”

The appointment comes as KeyData continues a period of active development. The company recently announced the launch of its Owner Acquisition Platform, a data-driven platform designed to help US vacation rental managers with strategic portfolio management.
