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' Washington, D.C. and Doubletree Hotels.
“Scott not only brings a solid history of hospitality knowledge, industry sales excellence and strong marketing savvy - 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 excited to explore Maui’s many natural riches, to better navigate his new ‘backyard’ in anticipation of the arrival of his wife and two children this Summer.
