KAPALUA,
Maui, HI – January
3, 2012 – The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua, along with Vice President
and General
Manager, Tom Donovan, is pleased to announce the leadership of Scott
Robison to
spearhead all Sales and Marketing initiatives and strategic business
development at the expansive, award-winning Maui resort.
Hailing from
Virginia, Robison’s most recent achievements as Director of Sales and
Marketing
at The Ritz-Carlton, Tysons Corner, will offer the luxury 463-room
seaside
property a dynamic new perspective.
During his tenure, the cosmopolitan DC-metro area hotel experienced
double-digit RevPAR growth and 23% market share growth for 2011, while
leading
a sales and marketing team of 18 -- representing group, catering,
business
travel, leisure segments, and all public relations, marketing and
revenue
management efforts. Such successes resulted
in Robison receiving numerous accolades and awards from Ritz-Carlton’s
regional
and global sales organizations, as well as hotel ownership. His team
also
landed the distinguished honor as Host Hotels & Resorts “2010 Sales
and
Marketing Team of the Year Award” for luxury and resort class
hotels. Prior to joining the international luxury
brand, Scott served as Director of Sales at Virginia’s Lansdowne Resort
and
held several management positions with Hiltons of Washington, D.C. and
Doubletree Hotels.
“Scott not only
brings a solid history of hospitality knowledge, industry sales
excellence and
strong marketing savvy -- but he is also a respected, results-oriented
team
leader,” offered Donovan. “We are
thrilled to welcome him to Hawaii and immerse him in the beautiful
culture.”
Robison is a
graduate of Virginia Tech, with a Bachelor of Science in Hospitality
and
Tourism Management and a Concentration in Hospitality Management and
Business. An avid sports enthusiast,
Scott is equally-excited to explore Maui’s many vast natural riches, to
better
navigate his new ‘backyard’ in anticipation of his wife and two
children
joining him this Summer.
