Bio
Toms Juhnevics
I have worked with Charlie in two separate stints, first at Courtyard by Marriott and second at Hotel Z in San Diego. I consider both experiences as some of the most productive and evolutionary times of my professional career. It is mainly because of Charlie’s leadership, support and guidance that I can say that. Charlie possesses a great wealth of knowledge, experience and intelligence that helps him excel at driving operational and financial success. But more importantly, Charlie’s ability to inspire, motivate and encourage his peers and employees is what truly sets him apart as a great leader. He empowers every individual on his team and sets them up for success. Charlie takes time to share his knowledge and works hard to help his peers reach their potential. Charlie is one of a kind and I’m thankful to have had the opportunity to work with him.

As the GM, I helped the ownership group to build and open the new Origin Hotel at Red Rocks, including building teams, creating best practices, marketing, branding, and holding full financial responsibility for all hotel operations. One of my top initiatives was to create unique and positive experiences for our customers which required training staff, managing performance, and always exceeding expectations.

I separately oversaw two hotels within the Courtyard brand. I started with a 149-room $8M location and was promoted to a 317-room $18M location. In each, I oversaw all operations, staff recruitment and training, P&L and other financial responsibilities. One of my greatest accomplishments while I was with the Courtyard brand was focusing on our customer service through training, setting performance expectations, and holding all staff accountable. By doing this, we increase our scores by 7.9%. Show less
