Innisfree Hotels has promoted Rhiannon Reynolds to the senior leadership position of VP, operations.
In her new role, she helps to ensure that Innisfree’s approximately 2,000 employees remain healthy, safe and happy in their jobs while also delivering profitability through hotel operations, according to the company.
Her career started 20 years ago when she worked as an administrative assistant at the Radisson Beach Resort and Hampton Inn in Fort Walton Beach, FL. It was supposed to be a temporary detour in her planned career as a higher education fundraiser, but she quickly rose through the ranks—first in hotel sales as a senior sales manager followed by director of sales and regional director of sales, then in hotel management as a GM and regional manager—and joined the Innisfree team in 2018.
She was most recently an Innisfree regional manager based in Fort Walton Beach. Her new position will be based at the company’s Gulf Breeze, FL, headquarters.
“Rhiannon embodies everything we look for in a leader: collaborative, empathetic and mission-driven,” said Ted Ent, president/CEO, Innisfree Hotels. “We are a better company with her in it, and even more so now that she has taken on this critical senior leadership role as our VP, operations.”
Reynolds added, “Innisfree’s commitment to our people and the planet creates an environment of support and collaboration that makes me feel motivated and fulfilled at work. I am grateful for this opportunity to put my skills to use on a broader scale for the company.”
