White Plains, NY - August 4, 2011 - Misty Moore of White Plains was recently named Director of Sales and Marketing at The Ritz-Carlton, Westchester. Since joining the hotel in March of 2008, Moore has held several positions, most recently as Director of Group and Catering Sales, responsible for hotel room and event space sales to business and social groups, including special occasions and weddings.

“Since Misty joined the hotel in 2008, she has had a significant impact on group and event sales, not only by bringing important and influential business to the hotel but by setting an example of leadership for her team,'' said Idalia Castro, Director of Human Resources at The Ritz-Carlton, Westchester. “She is well-deserving of this promotion and her added responsibilities.”

In her new position, Moore will direct the hotel's strategic PR and marketing efforts in addition to head up the entire sales team. She was the Five Star Leader of the Year in 2010 and the Chairman's Circle Award Winner at the hotel in 2010, and she was recently named a “Rising Star” by the Business Council of Westchester's “40 under 40” program.

Prior to coming to The Ritz-Carlton, Westchester, Moore worked for four years at the West Paces Hotel Group, which was founded by Horst Shulze, who previously had founded The Ritz-Carlton. There, she was in charge of Group Sales for the Hotel at Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama and the Ocean Place Resort and Spa in Long Branch, New Jersey.

Moore said she is excited about her new position at The Ritz Carlton, Westchester. “I've enjoyed working on the Sales and Marketing team at the hotel for the last three years, and I'm eager to lead our team to further success by expanding my scope,'' said Moore. “Our ultimate goal is to give every one of our guests the best service and most positive experience possible, and I look forward to continuing to do so in my new position.”

Moore began her career as an interior designer at the most sought-after design firm in Alabama after receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration from Auburn University in 2003. She is an avid golfer, having played the sport since she was just seven years old. She competed in the Miss Alabama USA pageant and placed in the Top 10.
