Robert Matsuoka

Robert joined Duetto in January 2026 as Chief Technology Officer, leading the technical vision and engineering strategy as Duetto evolves its platform into the industry’s first Revenue & Profit Operating System.

Robert has a 25-year track record of scaling global engineering organizations and building high-impact travel technology. Before joining Duetto, he spent eight years at Tripadvisor, where he served as Interim CTO and Head of Product Engineering. He arrived at Tripadvisor via the 2016 acquisition of Citymaps.com, a social mapping platform he co-founded and led as CTO.

Robert is a seminal thinker on AI who remains active “on the tools”, founding both HyperDev and the AI Power Ranking. His work focuses on applying agentic AI to complex optimization problems — particularly relevant for Duetto’s dynamic pricing algorithms and demand forecasting models that must process hundreds of variables in real-time.
