What I'm looking for

I am seeking a dynamic role where I can leverage my revenue management expertise to drive growth and enhance operational efficiency in the hospitality industry.

As a seasoned market manager with extensive experience in revenue management, I have successfully led teams and initiatives that drive significant revenue growth. Currently, I manage two properties at Vacatia, where I spearheaded a cultural transformation from timeshare to hotel operations, generating $2.4 million in revenue within my first 90 days. My strategic approach to optimizing room types and pricing has resulted in a remarkable increase in bookings and revenue.

Previously, as a Market Manager at Expedia Group, I was recognized as a two-time Limelight Award winner for my ability to develop a high-quality portfolio of hotel products. I successfully elevated properties' performance during challenging times, achieving a 20.2% increase in room nights during COVID-19. My analytical skills and proactive strategies have consistently led to exceeding revenue targets and enhancing partner relationships.
