Bio
Jacqui McMillan
I have had the pleasure of working with Yasmin for several years in Accor. Yasmin is a passionate, hardworking hotelier who strongly believes in Guest Passion and Developing her team within the organisation. She has many skills to list but primarily she is analytical yet with a creative flair. Likes to challenge how we work in hospitality and is always keeping up with the travel trends in this industry. I would strongly recommend Yasmin to any future employer who would be lucky to have her in their organisation.
