Key Data has announced a leadership transition with CEO and Co-Founder Jason Sprenkle set to retire at the end of May. Dustin Downing, currently President, will assume the role of CEO, guiding the company into its next phase of growth and innovation in the short-term rental data sector.
Sprenkle, who co-founded Key Data, will remain involved by serving on the board and aiding the transition. His tenure of over eight years saw the company become a pivotal source of market intelligence, enhancing transparency and consistency in performance measurement across the industry. His contributions were recently recognised with the Pioneer Award at the 2026 Shortyz Awards.
Downing, appointed President in April, brings nearly 20 years of experience in scaling technology platforms. He has held senior roles at companies like Sabre and OrderMyGear. Since joining Key Data, Downing has worked closely with Sprenkle to ensure a smooth transition whilst preparing the business for its next chapter.
"Leading Key Data has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career," Sprenkle stated. "The business is in a strong position, and this is the right moment to step back and pass leadership on for what comes next."
Downing expressed his vision for the company: "Our focus is on building on that foundation, accelerating our product capabilities, and expanding the value we deliver to customers globally."
Key Data continues to expand its global footprint, offering performance benchmarking and market intelligence to property managers, owners, and investors worldwide
