I am an experienced “yellow energy” sales leader with 20+ years of strong commercial experience working in hotels in various on and off property roles. I have achieved great results in proactive/reactive sales and negotiations, account management, marketing, team leadership, project management and development. In 2023 as a Global Account Director at Marriott, I have been recognised as a Key Contributor, was awarded as a GSO EMEA Rising Star and also EMEA - Top Performer. I thrive on new challenges and I am not scared of adversity. I am self motivated to achieve the best not just for me, but for the teams and companies I work for. I am driven by progression, success and finding win-win solutions for all and focused on ROI. Over the many years, I have built strong relationships with customers, clients, suppliers, leadership, peers and hotel owners through loyalty, trust, efficiency and commitment. Above and beyond customer service and a high level of engagement with my team mean the most to me. I like to be involved and leading or supporting new projects allowing me to be creative, improve processes and innovate. In my previous 3 roles as Director of Sales - The first was to complete a new hotel opening with IHG (2012-2015), second was to then rebrand and reposition a hotel with Hilton where my team and I won Sales Team of the Year for London and Sales Team of the year within EMEA (2015-2017) and third was set up a sales office structure and implement a way of working for a large major hotel with GLH (2017-2018)- all in City and East of London.
