Christy Rowan
I have been incredibly fortunate to work with Paul Beeezley twice in my hotel career. Paul and I met in May of 2000 as colleagues at the Crowne Plaza Atlanta NW, Powers Ferry for two years, while Paul was Managing the Government Group Market segment, and I was Managing Corporate Group. Following our time at the Crowne Plaza, Paul then Joined me at the Sheraton Midtown Hotel Atlanta Hotel at Colony Square in 2003, as we, managed the same markets again. I have always been impressed with Paul’s Sales and Relationship skills with his customers not to mention his dynamic personality which always improved the mood in the office. I have always had high respect for Paul as he consistently made and exceeded his Sales Goals, even during some months that were more challenging economically in our industry. I would highly recommend Paul for any position he chooses to pursue.
