Mr. Bell serves as Vice President, North America Sales East – Hotels, Resorts and Cruises (HRC) for Agilysys. North America HRC represents meaningful growth for the Company and formerly had been covered by a sales team reporting to a single vice president. To align sales coverage more closely with market opportunity, the Company now has an East and a West region, each managed by a vice president reporting into Chief Commercial Officer Joe Youssef. Tim Hansen – who rejoined Agilysys in October 2023 after previously having led sales functions for the Company from 2014 to 2021 – serves as Vice President, North America Sales West – HRC. The Company also continues to hire additional sales resources in each region.
For more than two decades Mr. Bell has led teams responsible for expanding sales of cloud/SaaS hospitality technology, PMS, POS, mobile and guest self-service solutions for global hospitality software providers, including Toast, Shiji Group, Oracle Hospitality and MICROS Systems prior to its acquisition by Oracle. His background includes working alongside leading hospitality organizations – including Marriott International, Choice Hotels, Curator Hotel and Resort Collection, MGM Resorts, Wynn and Encore Resorts, Aramark, Delaware North, Disney and Cedar Fair Entertainment Company (now merged with Six Flags) to determine the right technology solutions to best meet each organization’s business goals.
Most recently Mr. Bell served as Group Vice President, Hotels and Resorts, for restaurant POS technology provider Toast, where he helped grow the company’s sales, go-to-market and implementation strategies for hotels.

During his tenure, Mr. Bell was instrumental in helping Oracle build its PMS, POS, cloud/SaaS and mobile solutions presence in the hotel industry, including establishing significant market share in major global brands, regional chains and independent properties.
Mr. Bell commented on his decision to join Agilysys, “I built my career being ‘all in’ for hospitality, so leading a sales team for a company such as Agilysys that also is ‘all in’ for hospitality perfectly aligns with my commitment to this industry,” Bell said. “In the early days, hotels and other hospitality organizations looking for technology innovation felt constrained by limited choice. Agilysys has shattered those limitations with a remarkably strong solution portfolio that offers the most modern and innovative array of options for any hospitality organization to achieve well beyond what was previously possible. The Company’s unwavering commitment to customers, to collaborative innovation and to ‘do what you say you will do’ execution aligns perfectly with my values, and I look forward to helping the Company accelerate growth in North America,” Mr. Bell added.
