As a strategic leader in driving growth and expansion for global brands, I know what it takes to drive profitability in a competitive environment. I accomplish this by collaborating with brand owners, stakeholders, and leadership teams both internally and on the ground to implement strategic growth plans and resolve conflicts. In addition, I am an expert at managing multimillion-dollar budgets and partnering with teams on complex projects. Here is a small selection of my recent achievements:- Increased overall profitability and efficiency for Intercontinental Hotels by improving consistency in application of internal processes for all franchise groups. - Led long-term project to improve data management for Starwood hotels, giving decision-makers at all business levels access to consistent and accurate reporting. - Boosted accuracy of Starwood financial forecasts by 25% using a business intelligence tool and building strategic relationships with hotel owners to develop a picture of hotel performance. At my core I am a people leader and mentor who gives my team members training and the protection to feel confident in their position. I am also a strong believer in letting my team innovate and get things done without micromanagement.
