She brings with her a wealth of knowledge with over 17 years of experience in the hotel industry, most recently as Director of Electronic Distribution Services for Millennium & Copthorne Hotels. Kim has also held various positions at Hilton International and Forte Hotels. �I was impressed with SynXis and the RedX Distribution Management System while I was with M&C,� commented Kim. �I am looking forward to delivering some of the newest services that SynXis is offering and helping to contribute to SynXis� continued strong customer growth.� Laura has been in the hospitality business for 18 years.
