Guest Speaker

Kathie Giles – Director of Sales, West Coast 

I started with the Teneo Team in March and couldn’t be more thrilled to represent the West Coast office and all of our 360+ hotels and DMC partners. I have over 30 years of experience in the hospitality industry, with a proven track record of success in regional and global sales roles. My amazing and extensive background includes 20 years with Marriott International in regional and global sales roles, 10 years with Destination Hotels & Resorts (which later became Two Roads Hospitality) as Global Director of Sales in Texas-West, and Hyatt Hotels as part of their Global Hyatt Sales Force Team representing their Luxury Brands.

In my free time, I do enjoy outdoor activities such as skiing, hiking, and riding horses, and is also an avid traveler. She is a wine connoisseur and a lover of live music. I grew up in the beautiful province of Alberta and loved the Great White North. I attended the University of Alberta for Communications and currently live in Temecula, CA, with her daughter who attends Boise State University when not at home during the holidays and summers.
