MY STORY
We support your business to reach targeted market segments, securing and implementing
lucrative sales strategies, and developing innovative operating practices to ultimately yield profits
With over twenty-five years in the hotel and tourism sector, I have held multiple sales management and operational positions in 5 star hotels and resorts in the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Venezuela, and in luxury resorts in Thailand, and in The Maldives.
Served as hotel executive with international hotel chains, franchises and independent properties, as well as a luxury travel advisor, allowing me to not only understand the needs of hoteliers, but also how to apply the best practices of what competitors offer in each of the markets.
Earned a Master of Business Administration from Glion of Higher Education from Switzerland with emphasis in International Hospitality and Services Management.
