Back in STR. Going Deeper, Not Wider. Ashley Horsley on Avari.
About this episode
Recorded live at GuestyVal in Madrid, Ashley Horsley, COO and President of Avari, joined the show for a quick conversation about coming back to the vacation rental industry after five years in sports, and what she found when she got here. Avari acquired 27 markets from the Vacasa and Casago footprint, backed by Thrive out of Dallas. Ashley talked about the strategy behind going deeper rather than wider, what rebuilding owner and employee trust actually looks like after repeated ownership changes, and how much the industry has changed since she left five years ago.
