Last week was one to remember. As Chair of the Marriott Benelux Business Council, I had the privilege of welcoming David Marriott, Chairman of the Board, to The Netherlands—together with my Co-Chair, Claudia Van Der Graaf, and our inspiring NextGen Chairs Chiara Mossi (Netherlands) and Loic Remy (Belgium). Alongside Satya Anand, Neal Jones, Robert Juntke and Gitta Brückmann, David took the time to connect with our Benelux General Managers and regional leadership. We reflected on the initiatives of our Council: building stronger teams, supporting our local communities, and fostering the Marriott culture. I ended the day feeling inspired and proud of what we’re accomplishing across the region, and even more motivated to lead new initiatives that positively impact the world around our hotels. #BusinessCouncilBenelux #LifeAtMarriott #NextGenLeadership #PeopleFirst #HospitalityWithPurpose
