Our story
Jessica Gillingham is our Founder and CEO, an entrepreneur and industry commentator with a strong vision for how technology will transform the future of hospitality and living. From her initial venture, the launch of a vacation rental booking platform, to an award-winning career in hospitality technology public relations, Jessica has become an established name in the hospitality and serviced living sectors.
Jessica launched Abode in 2017 to provide specialist, sector-specific strategic public relations and raise the profiles of tech innovators in this exciting and fast-moving space.
Jessica believes that property operators, whether hotels, short-term rentals, multifamily buildings, student lodging, later living communities, or serviced apartments, must transition from traditional management — focusing on providing spaces — to adopting a true hospitality mindset; a mindset that is all about serving residents and guests.
By embracing technology, operators can offer sophisticated, personalized, and well-managed services to all who live, work, and play in their spaces, prioritizing exceptional experiences and returns for residents, owners, and guests.
We’re up to something good
We want our business to be a force for good in the world. Every year we choose charitable initiatives that are close to our hearts, donating 1% of profits. We currently support the Malala Fund, an international, non-profit organization that advocates for girls’ education.
“Abode has played a big role in Breezeway’s growth as a brand and thought-leader. Jessica and her team are experts in crafting positioning and storytelling within the hospitality space, and are well-versed with how new trends affect operators, suppliers, owners and travelers.”
