At Ace Hotel, I led the global marketing strategy across the brand’s hospitality offerings with a focus on food and beverage, while also driving cross-functional creative direction for restaurants, cocktail bars, CPG initiatives, and branded guest experiences. My work extended across North America, Europe, and Asia, overseeing integrated campaigns, partnerships, paid media, and cultural activations that positioned Ace as a leader in experiential hospitality. I collaborated closely with property teams, chefs, beverage leads, and creative studios to ensure each offering was brought to market with a compelling, cohesive voice rooted in place and cultural context.
I was proud to oversee several high-impact brand partnerships and culinary moments, including the NOMA Kyoto residency, one of the most prestigious and high-profile global restaurant collaborations in recent years, the St. John pop-up at Ace Hotel Brooklyn, Restaurant Pearl Morissette in Toronto which was ranked the best in Canada in the 2025 top 100 restaurants list, the Stumptown Coffee partnership, which expanded across multiple markets and included CPG retail integration, lobby cafe experiences, and co-branded campaigns.These initiatives weren’t just marketing milestones—they were cultural statements that elevated brand equity and guest engagement while directly supporting sales and long-term visibility.

During my tenure, we achieved the highest food and beverage revenue month in Ace Hotel history, driven by performance marketing, property-specific campaign support, and ongoing refinement of our culinary messaging strategy. I helped evolve Ace’s hospitality identity beyond traditional F&B, shaping how bars, restaurants, and in-room dining intersect with lifestyle, design, and community. From menu rollouts and new concept development to launching bar programs and branded partnerships, I guided the creative and marketing direction at every stage, ensuring consistency, relevance, and emotional impact across digital, print, and on-site channels.

This work reflects a central theme in my broader career: using marketing as a cultural engine to elevate hospitality experiences, grow revenue, and build deeply resonant brand identities. It also underscores my ability to lead at the intersection of strategy and storytelling, transforming individual offerings into larger movements that resonate across cities, audiences, and industries.
