Bio
Markus Schreyer
It`s rare that you come across professionals like Evert. I had the pleasure of working with Evert for about 7 years. In his current role as Regional Director of Sales for East & Central Europe we were working closely together to implement commercial strategies, open new hotels and drive profits. He is an outstanding sales person, who is able to handle even the toughest clients, but also a leader who is able to manage multi-national teams, also in remote locations. No matter how tense his schedule, Evert was always open for new ideas and offered his support. As a team member or a leader, Evert earns my highest recommendation.
Karen Newberry
Evert is a great representative for his collection of properties at Starwood. His in depth knowledge of his hotels is of tremendous value to clients looking to match their needs to properties Evert represents. I appreciate his honest feedback when asked which properties are best suited for my clients.

I had the great privilege to report to Evert during my position as a Regional Sales & Marketing Coordinator East & Central Europe at Starwood Hotels & Resorts. Evert is one of those rare managers who also naturally serves as an inspiring mentor for the entire team. Evert exhibits strong interpersonal skills and a unique capacity for seeing the big picture, leading his team to a goal but still transforming every task into a fascinating learning experience. Evert empowers his team and simultaneously coaches each individual by sharing his knowledge and expertise. These qualities most notably translate in new ideas, ultimately driving change in the company and excitement within the team! It is also great fun working with Evert - Thank you for being such a great boss!
