Cora Horhocea
@corahorhocea
I build lasting hospitality client relationships through account management, retention, and property operations expertise.
What I'm looking for
I've managed client relationships, retention, and delivery across hospitality, events, and tourism, including $1.2M in event contract value and a 60% repeat-client and referral rate at Scenario Events.
At Moon Resorts, I led operations and P&L for three properties, increasing occupancy by 25% and generating $300,000 in incremental revenue through OTA optimization and data-driven repositioning. I work hands-on with the hotel workflows, KPIs, and guest experience challenges that hospitality technology platforms solve.
I've also improved guest satisfaction at Hilton Garden Inn, grown event revenue at Grand Hotel Continental, and supported international travel clients at Agetur. I'm remote-ready across the EU and communicate fluently in English, with working Spanish and Italian.
