Our Team
JASON O. RAIMONDI | FLORIDA, US
I have had the distinct pleasure of cultivating a 20-year career in hospitality characterized by dedicated leadership roles and exceptional experience in learning & development. From large resorts to luxury hotels to high-profile theme parks and fine dining establishments, my background demonstrates wide-ranging proficiency across guest services, front office, resort operations, rooms division, F&B, learning and development, and human resources. Additionally, I have been privileged to take part in multiple resort and departmental openings and have launched global training initiatives instructing literally thousands on leadership, onboarding, and train-the- trainer programs.
With the Hospitality Anew program, I am determined to bring not only my background and experiences but also my passion and drive to make our industry thrive during and beyond the pandemic. We look forward to supporting your destination, through the four workshops, and into the future so that guests and staff feel services with safety at the forefront. Both Rosie and I are excited to assist and work with you.
