Specialties:Project manager, customer service, marketing, payroll processing,budget,sales, scheduling, supervisory skills,I have over 25 years of experience in the hospitality and travel industries. I have a lengthy field experience in business operation, sales, project, employee, and financial management. I have overseen and led efforts to increase the value, performance, and profitability of various businesses. I have demonstrated experience in conducting the everyday operations of various employee groups through direct recruiting, supervising, and mentoring them. I believe that, to be successful in hospitality, one needs to have a strong customer interface. I have used the strategic planning, qualitative & quantitative research, creative development approach in my various management positions in order to achieve continuous, improved business performance. I prefer hands on operations where I can be involved in daily aspects of running a business. I am flexible and energetic and possess the ability to work well in a fast paced environment. My strong work ethic and drive to succeed has led to excellent time management skills and multi-tasking skills. In the past, while working for a receivership attorney, I successfully managed properties in order to increase the GOP by 30%. This proved to the bankruptcy court that this business would be profitable under proper management. Income was increased by using marketing and sales skills and going the extra mile by providing customer service with utmost professionalism, therefore establishing a long term client relationship. At my current job, a start-up company, I have developed and successfully implemented marketing plans that resulted in consistent sales increases. I successfully closed the deals amounting nearly a million dollars within the first three months.
