Philippe Thevenet Appointed as Director of Sales and Marketing
for 203-room Conrad Miami in Florida



MIAMI, Fla. – April 26, 2011
– Conrad Miami today announced it has named Philippe Thevenet as director of sales and marketing for the 203-room luxury hotel in Miami’s business and financial district. With more than 12 years experience in the hospitality industry, Thevenet will oversee the sales and marketing efforts for the hotel as well as manage a team of 10 sales, marketing and catering professionals.

Prior to joining Conrad Miami, Thevenet worked, since 2007, as director of sales and marketing at the Conrad Indianapolis, in Indiana. He began his career with InterContinental Hotels in Paris, France, and later moved to Montreal to begin his service with the Hilton Worldwide family. In October 1999, he moved to Chicago as sales manager at the Drake hotel, and in 2001, he became the hotel’s assistant director of sales. From 2002 to 2007, Thevenet took the helm as director of sales business travel and leisure for several Chicago properties including Hilton Chicago, Hilton O’Hare, Conrad Chicago, and Palmer House.

“Philippe has extensive experience and a proven track record of success directing sales and marketing activities at Hilton hotels, and we are proud to have a professional of his caliber join our team,” said Martin Wormull, general manager of Conrad Miami. “He is a motivated leader with extensive experience in planning, implementation and follow-through to exceed a hotel’s sales, financial, and operational plans. We expect that together we will accomplish many great things at Conrad Miami.”

Philippe was recently recognized by Hilton with the 2010 Circle of Excellence Director of the Year Award for his outstanding sales performance in 2010. Winners of this prestigious award are selected annually based on their individual performance for exceeding revenue goals while creating value for their customers, continually innovating solutions and driving dominant market share in their respective areas.

Thevenet earned a master’s degree from the University of Angers, France, in management and marketing in the tourism industry.
