#websummit - Women in Tech - Mentor by Booking.com

The #WebSummit in Lisbon was exciting, energizing + a huge success.  Indeed, Booking.com Women in Tech Mentor 3 day program was standing room only.

I was asked to be a mentor and met some amazing + ambitious young women.  Most were seeking specific tactics for 'what's next' in their careers.  The sessions went so well, I met one of the ladies for a coffee post #WebSummit ... what a pleasure!

A shout out to Nicola Lyons, WebSummit Community Manager, who was the hands on coordinator - well done!

#websummit 2017 - Women in Tech Initiative

Quote from Gillian Tans, Booking.com CEO:

“We strongly believe that gender diversity is key to building a workforce that fosters innovation, collaboration and creativity and we are continuously working to make Booking.com one of the most gender-balanced companies in the world"

I was delighted to be a mentor for Women in Tech Initiative

 Back to Lisbon for #WebSummit 2018 - I hope to include some of my Online Business Development MBA students in this program.

More Women in Tech !!

HES Digital Futures Presentation #cometmeetings

The team at Hotel Executive Solution held their #Hotel Managers workshop 28/11 to explore the impact of digital on guest services and hotel operations.

I thank them for inviting me to present now-near big picture - how guest expectations of superior service are evolving dynamically.

Leadership Team at Hotel Executive Solution

The key concept = Guests expect to access hotel services digitally. Hoteliers need to be creative to deliver HX (human experience) enhanced by digital. 

Wisely, the Team selected #CometMeetings as the innovative environment for the HES Managers to explore creative approach to H2H (human to human) enhanced by digital.
