We are excited to present a new episode of "Influencers in Hospitality" featuring Martina Maly-Gaertner, COO and Board Member at UBM Development. Recorded before the festive season, this episode is a treasure trove of insights and foresight for 2024, amidst the evolving challenges in the hospitality industry. 

Martina brings her extensive experience to the table, discussing key topics like the strategic importance of asset utilization and energy hedging. In an era where technology is paramount, her thoughts on the adoption of AI in hospitality open a window to the future of the industry. 

A significant part of the conversation is dedicated to the softer skills crucial in leadership - emotional intelligence and diversity. Martina elucidates how these factors are not just buzzwords but essential elements for fostering resilient and supportive cultures, especially during times of crisis. 

Her rich background, encompassing leadership roles in hotel development, operations, tourism consulting, and hotel management across America, the Middle East, and Europe, positions her as a voice of authority and a true global influencer in the field. 

Join us in this enlightening episode as we explore these critical themes and understand their impact on the future of hospitality. Martina's insights offer not just a glimpse into the trends of 2024, but also into the enduring strategies that will define the industry in the years to come.
