About Natasha Croy

I\'m a Mom first. I love cooking, spending time with my family, and traveling. Maui is a favorite travel spot. I try to live by the Aloha spirit, spreading kindness, enjoying life and all the beautiful moments every day! I\'ve been in the hospitality and events industry for 20 years, with majority of that time in Citywide Sales with Marriott Hotels. I have pre-opening experience with the JW Marriott Indianapolis and have managed a wide range of markets, from National Associations, Corporate and Affinity. I spent a short time in the tech space due to pivoting in the midst of COVID and gained experience in virtual/hybrid events. In my current role I manage citywide sales for the Philadelphia Convention & Visitors Bureau for the Midwest Market starting at 1,500+ peak and Southeast Market starting at 700+ peak. Philadelphia is an incredible city to represent and I\'m proud to be a part of this credible organization. I love our industry. Meeting new people, building authentic and genuine relationships. I love to be challenged and constantly be learning, because that is how we grow.
