I have worked with Michael for more than 5 years, at Dolce, Wyndham and previously Starwood. Our professional paths have crossed many times. Michael is extremely passionate about what he does. His can-do attitude and work ethic make him a dependable partner. His dedication to problem-solving, teamwork, innovation and experimentation lend itself to success. Michael is able to understand the needs of stakeholders and push his team to deliver results, while also ensuring his team is motivated, engaged and able to deliver. I have enjoyed working alongside Michael and look forward to many more years of collaboration.

Words that come to mind when I think of Michael: Dedicated, Passionate, Strategic, Creative, Good-natured, Team-player and Reliable. I’ve worked closely with Michael for more than six years and I think I know him pretty well. While I was leading the global revenue management program for Dolce Hotels, Michael was leading the company’s global marketing. We worked together on how to best market each of our hotels with global B2B and B2C campaigns. He was very receptive to my input and feedback as we created innovative marketing campaigns to drive revenue and brand awareness. During the time I worked with him, I watched as his responsibilities steadily increased from strictly website marketing to include: CRM, Email Marketing, Social Marketing, Content Marketing as well as offline marketing. He led a team of remote regional marketers in the US and Europe and had dotted-line authority to each of our hotels marketing teams. In addition to managing his team, he also managed eleven key partners to drive value for the overall brand. I highly recommend Michael.
