Bio
Georges Dagher
I have had the opportunity to work with Tereze on the organization of several events of my company hosted in Pullman, and I have also spent several months in the hotel as an individual guest. This letter is to recommend her for any relevant position in hospitality management. Tereze is an extremely reliable person, whose attention to detail and quality shines through every conversation and interaction I had with her. Her customer orientation and professionalism were noted and spontaneously shared with me by most members in my team, quoting the quality of the service and the personalized attention as the main reason for returning to the hotel. She is extremely responsive and creative, and every request we had was handled with extreme professionalism and diligent response. Staying in the hotel during the full lockdown period, I was able also to observe the care and support she provided to the staff in this difficult time, and to see her take on extra duties to cover for the reduced resources, as a sign of her passion and full commitment to the job she is entitled to deliver. She is a pleasure to work with, and whether it is in a normal situation or a stressful context, Tereze will always be an available and professional partner to rely on. I am confident she will be a asset to any team she joins and recommend her without any reservation.
