Bio
Accomplished hotelier with over 25 years of diverse experience across hotel operations, guest relations, sales & marketing, and revenue management. I bring a strategic, cross-functional perspective shaped by hands-on leadership in both front-line service and executive commercial roles. As a Director of Sales and Marketing, I have led high-performing teams, expanded market share, and delivered sustainable revenue growth through innovative positioning, dynamic sales strategies, and optimized pricing models.
Complementing my hospitality expertise, I hold a Master’s Degree in Astrophysics and a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, a distinctive academic foundation that sharpens my analytical thinking and data-driven decision-making. This scientific mindset empowers me to identify patterns, anticipate market behavior, and apply predictive insights to pricing, revenue optimization, and guest experience personalization. By blending operational insight with analytical precision, I bring a holistic approach to business performance, guest satisfaction, and future-ready leadership.
