Experience

During this tenure, I supervised all room-division departments at a luxury boutique hotel, ensuring seamless coordination across revenue management, sales & marketing, property management, front desk, and housekeeping operations. Cultivated strong executive-level relationships by engaging consistently with C-suite stakeholders and local VIP clientele, enhancing corporate relations and business retention. I also spearheaded workforce development by introducing specialized post-COVID hospitality coaching programs to upskill staff and improve service delivery.A key accomplishment was leading a full-scale hotel renovation on schedule, coordinating project timelines, and directing cross-functional teams to ensure smooth execution. I drove a 32% year-over-year profitability increase, surpassing pre-pandemic revenue benchmarks by optimizing cost structures and focusing on maximizing quarterly top-line growth.Additionally, I achieved a 13% reduction in annual operational expenses by renegotiating supplieragreements and eliminating contractual inefficiencies. I successfully expanded the hotel’s regional market share by capturing new clientele from the Seattle metropolitan area and forming strategic partnerships with local tourism networks. By fostering a workplace culture of empowerment, curiosity, and functional excellence, I boosted ratings on platforms like TripAdvisor, Google, and OTAs, reinforcing the hotel’s brand competitiveness and enhancing guest satisfaction.
