Passion for Travel
Inheriting my passion for travel from my amazing father who is a retired airline executive, I have enthusiastically devoted my entire career to the hospitality and travel industry. I was very fortunate as my dad was eager for his children to discover what lies outside of our day-to-day realm and thus my international travels began at age 5.
My Career Path
Let’s go back to the beginning… Following in my dad’s footsteps my first employment was with Ethiopian Airlines and my career began in Frankfurt, Germany as a reservation agent. After moving to the US I joined Hyatt Hotels where I served in various positions including Front Desk Manager as well as Revenue & Reservations Manager. My path then led me to Las Vegas and to employment with MGM Resorts International where I held various hotel operations positions at New York New York and Luxor. In 2008, I joined the Wynn family and ultimately became a member of the sales team in 2009, responsible for the development of the international and domestic leisure group segment. A year later I was asked to take over the international wholesale segment which lead to my role of Executive Director of Travel Industry Sales for Wynn Las Vegas and Encore Las Vegas, overseeing all leisure segments.
Seeking Growth
While the larger part of my career has been in hospitality, joining Papillon Airways Inc. in early 2019 has given me priceless insight into the day-to-day operation of the Tours and Activities side of the industry and has taught me the precise differences between Activity and Hospitality providers. My 12 years of experience in the sales department at Wynn Las Vegas and Encore Las Vegas prepared me well for my role at Papillon as Vice President of Sales and Marketing. I’ve now come full circle with the creation of KG Global Consulting where I am able to leverage my vast sales and operations experience across the travel industry.
