Bio
Dana Foley-Taylor
I had the pleasure to work with Tom while he was the General Manager at the Sheraton Brookhollow Houston. He was always very hands on with our assignments and Task force we supplied to his hotel. I always enjoyed working with him and the knowledge he had for his company, the Market, the hotel and our industry. I would welcome the chance to work with him again and highly recommend him for any senior level management role in the hospitality industry. He bought into the GM working with the Sales team and I truly appreciated him as that is often a challenge. He GOT it and in my book that's key to see that GM understand the importance of Sales and Operations to keep a team motivated and moving forward in often challenging markets and the overall economy. I would welcome the chance to work with Tom in the future.
