Episode 52: Allison Page - Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at SevenRooms

Welcome to Episode 52 of The VentureFizz Podcast, the flagship podcast of your most-trusted source for startup and tech jobs, news, and insights! For this episode of our podcast, I interviewed Allison Page, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at SevenRooms in New York City. SevenRooms is an all-in-one reservation, seating and guest management platform that is used by customers ranging from neighborhood restaurants to international hospitality groups. The company raised a $8M Series A round of funding last December and they just announced an investment for Amazon’s Alexa Fund to introduce in-service, voice-enabled technology for the restaurant industry. In this episode of our podcast, we cover: -Allison’s background, including the lessons she learned having a side hustle while working in investment banking. -How the founding team spent their time learning the hospitality industry to discover the pain points that SevenRooms would initially focus on. -How the curiosity factor is helpful for people who are considering a career in product management. -The trickle-down effect that has happened in terms of hiring across the company based on having a diverse leadership team. -Plus, a lot more.
