Every so often an interview is also a reunion. Before he led the Boston University School of Hospitality Real Estate Program, Kaushik Vardharajan spent fifteen years at HVS, the global consulting firm focused exclusively on the hospitality industry. For this interview, Kaushik sits down with Rod Clough, who is now running it across the Americas. This episode of the Distinguished Podcast was recorded on the road at the NYU International Hospitality Investment Forum in New York City.  

Rod Clough, President of the Americas for HVS, built his career over more than three decades. With some of the deepest data in the industry behind him, Rod shares: 

  • Why this year's performance has surprised almost everyone 
  • Where the opportunities lie well beyond the headlines 
  • How to leverage AI while maintaining expert judgment at the heart of a valuation
