In his new role, Andy will oversee all sales and marketing activities for hotels in the Americas region, including public relations, advertising, strategic partnerships and special events.
A seasoned professional with 20 years’ experience in commercial roles within the hospitality industry, Andy joined Grace Hotels from Hilton Philadelphia at Penn’s Landing, where he was Regional Director of Sales & Marketing.

He will also oversee the commercial activity at Grace Cafayate in Argentina, and, with the continued increase in demand for travel from the US to Greece, he will be responsible for generating outbound business from the US to Grace Santorini and Grace Mykonos.
Andy has served on advisory committees for several industry organisations, including HSMAI and Historic Hotels of America, and was president of the Cape Cod Hospitality Marketing Association. He was educated at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
