ABOUT RYAN LAMKIN

I am a seasoned Operations Manager with 20+ years of team development, project oversight, F&B operations, and strategic leadership success in the hospitality sector. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for creating and implementing process improvement initiatives to optimize operational efficiency and reduce costs, as well as for empowering and training employees to build high-performing teams. Professional focal points include relationship-building, restaurant re-configuration, and the ability to adapt to ever-changing situations in a fast-paced environment. Delivering superior administration in these areas of expertise requires the utilization of effective business and financial acumen, and a keen eye for detail, as well as event management, customer service excellence, and resource allocation expertise to support overall efficiency and deliver optimal results. My current role is an Acting Director of Operations at Sheraton Phoenix Downtown. Under my leadership, I drive operational excellence, enhance guest experiences, and direct teams to exceed expectations. By overseeing front desk service, optimizing upselling programs, and managing scheduling, I serve in a multi-faceted role, providing motivational leadership and promoting a culture of productivity and impact. In addition, I liaise with senior leadership and cross-functional teams to ensure that the organization’s overall service and support structure is driving our goals forward with minimal expenditure, optimizing operational efficiency, and maximizing success. Colleagues describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, results-focused and managerial expert who can be relied on to provide strategic operations management solutions in diverse, challenging environments.I am interested in contacting former colleagues and managers, as well as other professionals in my field.
