Matthias Geeroms is a co-founder of Lighthouse, the commercial intelligence software company that began as OTA Insight in Ghent in 2012. He served as its chief financial officer.
His earlier career was in tax, not hospitality. He spent about six years as a transfer pricing specialist at FOD Financien, the Belgian tax authority. He co-founded the company with Gino Engels and Adriaan Coppens.
Lighthouse gives hotels one live view of rates, demand and reviews. It raised an $80m Series B in November 2021 and a $370m Series C led by KKR in November 2024. Its funding then totalled about $470m.
The company moved its headquarters from Ghent to London and rebranded from OTA Insight to Lighthouse in 2023. It bought Transparent and Kriya RevGen in 2022 and Stardekk in 2024.
