“Kathleen’s diverse industry background in hotel sales and marketing, training and development, revenue management, and food and beverage, adds significant depth to our corporate sales capabilities,” Brennan said. “Her previous experience with Interstate, Marriott Corporation and Carlson Companies, combined with her record of achievement and proactive leadership, will make her effective in this position.”
While with the Pittsburgh Airport Marriott, Barone received Marriott’s Eastern Region Director of Sales and Marketing award in 2009, and Marriott’s Global Director of Sales and Marketing award and the Eastern Region Director of Sales and Marketing award in 2008.
