After a few years as a management consultant, I knew I wanted to be part of an industry that I loved as a consumer, and this is how I begun my career in hospitality.
To date, I have worked in 3 different firms, from a UK based apart-hotel firm, to a fast growing start up now on NASDAQ leading to my current role as Global Strategy Manager within the Office of the CEO at IHG Hotels and resorts. My breadth of experience is quite unique, sitting across portfolio development and asset management, operations, brand/ product and now strategy. My deep understanding across this variety of functions has enabled my to bring a different lens to each role I am in.
My proudest moments within my career so far include securing a flagship asset that restored a dated hotel within a grade II listed to an award winning apart-hotel; transforming the operational processes within a firm working across 14 countries and developing the platform for all product standards to enable the brand to scale and ultimately making access to accurate information easier for all in the business, from housekeepers to senior leadership.
