About Joyce Byington-Clark

I have more than 25 years of solid Sales & Leadership experience, with the major focuses have been in Select and Full Service Hotels. I worked extensively in the Business Travel, Government, Military and Conference segments. I have had excellent success in all of those segments, but Business Travel remains my greatest passion. Through my positions I have been able to assemble a vast network of contacts in the Corporate Sector and the Military. My Above Property Sales Experience has provided the opportunity to work on multiple projects, with little direct supervision. This has served to hone my ability to prioritize constantly and successfully complete many varied objectives. That Multiple Property Sales has afforded me the opportunity to work with closely with National Sales efforts of multiple brands, including: Marriott, Hilton, IHG, Starwood and others. I have worked with in the Group and Catering Sales and Revenue Management disciplines with results in increase room nights, meeting space sales, Group Business and superior yield management. I am most proud of my Opening and Re-branding experience. I played a key role in the very successful launch of 5 new properties in under 2 years, from pre-planning to successful launch. I am always looking to challenge myself and grow professionally. I have a real love of Sales and Marketing and I thrive in a dynamic environment that allows me to utilize my experience, skills and vast network of contacts.
