WHO YOU ARE
You are humble and understand the need to work side by side with others; and you take feedback to make things better seriously. It is quite natural for you to walk into a hotel and want to fluff every pillow you see, judge the level of cleanliness or ask the front desk what type of system they are using. You get excited about how amenities are packaged; a guest service story created by an employee's intuition and can strip a bed faster than the best housekeeper. Your career experience is eclectic and dynamic. You have great pride in having worked your way through a variety of rooms division department head roles. You have a special place in your heart for the people and teams you have worked with and developed during your career. You get excited for crunch response training and know that success comes through collaboration and teamwork. You are comfortable with casual sophistication and realize the concept of luxury has evolved to be approachable and not cookie-cutter.
