Hotel management company Lodging Dynamics Hospitality Group has appointed Kathleen Bates as VP, operations.
“[Kathleen’s] innovative and disciplined approach to operations, combined with her passionate leadership, are a powerful combination,” said Jamie Caraher, president/CEO, Lodging Dynamics. “They are an ideal blend as we continue our growth and add more complex properties to our management portfolio. She is a great addition to complement our team of world-class leaders.”
Bates, who has spent more than 25 years in the hotel industry, has spent a significant portion of her career operating Marriott, Hilton and other premium brand hotels at every level—from a single property general manager to directing and providing oversight of hotel portfolios on a regional or national level. In addition to hotel portfolios, she most recently developed, implemented and oversaw hoteling and home-sharing services across a nationwide group of Class A multi-family communities.
“I look forward to adding my skill set in organizational leadership combined with my passion for hospitality as we continue providing award-winning services for our stakeholders and guests,” said Bates.
