Bio

I’m a quadrilingual hospitality, retail and real estate development professional with a background in hotels, QSR and fitness franchising in Europe and the Americas, with a bachelor’s in BA from CU Boulder, an MBA from Babson and a Hotel Investment & Asset Management Certificate from Cornell. I currently lead the development in Spain & Portugal of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest hotel franchising company by number of hotels, with approx. 9,000 hotels. Previously I was the Senior Hotel Investment Consultant for Christie & Co. Spain & Portugal, were I helped hotel owners maximize their hospitality investments through professionally structured processes, that ranged from search and selection of hotel operator, national and international franchise selection, to exiting their hotel investment. When I'm not working, I'm on dad duty or thinking about playing golf. I also enjoy watching and practicing most sports, pretending I'm in a Masterchef contest while in the kitchen (to the detriment of my wife's palate) or perfecting my potato couching-series watching ability, pending a successful tiring-out of the kids that led them to go to bed early!
