San Diego, CA (June 12, 2025) – CloudbedsAdnan Maliak, Managing director of Franchise Development, has been appointed by the premier software platform for hospitality management.
Adnan, who will be based in London, is responsible for expanding Cloudbeds franchise partnerships, unlocking new growth potential, and supporting the company’s goal to simplify hospitality by modern technology.

Adnan Malik is the Managing Director for Franchise Development at Cloudbeds.

Cloudbeds has been on a global roll for some time, and this move comes after a period where the company invested heavily in its product as well as partnerships. This allows them to offer a solution that is holistic and meets the needs of the hospitality industry.
