ABOUT LINK RUIZ

I’m a hospitality-driven Safety & Security leader recognized for delivering structure, calm leadership, and elevated service in complex luxury environments. Before the Fairmont Century Plaza even opened its doors, I was hired directly by ownership as part of the pre-opening team, supporting access control, coordinating construction teams, and helping prepare a landmark property from the ground up.I believe that titles never capture the full impact of someone who consistently goes above and beyond. My career spans security leadership, operations, HR, film coordination, and software documentation — all rooted in one purpose: helping people and teams succeed.Key Highlights:• Pre-opening and grand opening support for the Fairmont Century Plaza, including access control, vendor coordination, and operational readiness• Developed SOPs, training modules, and workflows that contributed to Security earning “Department of the Year”• Coordinated on-site film shoots for Fairmont, Nespresso, CBS, and various production partners• Mentor for LALIFF (Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival), guiding middle school students exploring careers in film• Collaborated with IT to co-write the MAPS scheduling software user manual used to schedule employees• Strong experience in emergency response, investigations, access control systems, and cross-department operationsAt my core, I enjoy being of service and creating environments where teams can thrive. Whether responding to emergencies, shaping department structure, or supporting daily hotel operations, I lead with accountability, hospitality, and the belief that your title doesn’t define your impact — your actions do.
