Summary
I have over 20 years of experience in the hospitality industry, primarily as a MICE Sales Manager. Throughout my career, I have been responsible for corporate clients, contract negotiations, revenue generation and long-term partnership development. I specialize in building strong, trust-based relationship and creating tailored solutions for corporate events and conferences. Over the years I have developed strong analytical skills, cost optimization and revenue management. I now feel ready to move to the corporate side, where I can use my hotel expertise to optimize travel programs, negotiate better conditions and bring strategic value to the company.
