Bio
Doris Reiss
I had the pleasure of working with Judy at Luxury Link Travel Group for several years. Judy was an incredibly gifted negotiator which allowed her to effectively source rooms, amenities, F&B and tour components in a wholesale environment with both large scale hotel chains and individual boutique properties globally. In addition, Judy has a creative and artistic bent which made her extremely effective at displaying hotel packages in a web environment for maximum yield. Judy is self motivated to get the job done, and get it done correctly. Judy is one of those people you have on your team that will consistently 'turn the box on its head' to see another side of things - she brings fresh ideas to the table to solve product, placement and revenue issues. I would highly recommend Judy to any individual or organization in the travel or event planning industry where sourcing makes all the difference...she'll get it done!

Judy was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her problem solving and critical thinking skills proved a great asset when making difficult business decisions. Her deep knowledge of merchandizing, marketing, client services and sales brought tremendous value to the entire team. She is a reliable, confident worker and I highly commend her skills and business acumen.
